Software

Design: At the core was an Arduino microcontroller, connected to a GPS receiver, accelerometer, and and Iridium satcom. During a flight, the Arduino would be reading accelerometer data, and wait to detect a launch, where after landing, it would initialize the GPS receiver and wait for a position lock. Once the position was received, it would be sent to the satcom, where it would be passed through the Iridium satellite network, and finally sent to a preset email address.

Code: Currently have the code in a colab notebook to read.
