Advanced COM Device

Design Task
Develop and validate a 9523 Iridium Modem communication system for an air-dropped experiment from 30km as well as working with Ames to create and model the aft-mounted drag device which will also be deployed with the balloon.

We will be replacing the previous communication system based around the 9602 Short-Burst Data Modem in order to increase data throughput while in flight.
