Protect sensors from heat required by battery #3

Open inktomi opened 8 years ago

In order to work properly, lithium ion batteries need to be kept somewhat warm. The standard temperature at 90,000' is around -60 degrees fahrenheit. This requires a heat pack, which destroys the ability of our sensors to accurately record temperature.

The battery needs to be compartmentalized away from the place where temperature sensors might be placed.
