MIST Module Electronics

The MIST module is a proposed building block for electronic telemetry systems for use with weather balloons, providing a minimum hazard to fast-flying aircraft. This electronic telemetry system may be spread in two dimensions while having a minimum build-up or structure in the third dimension. Minimum STructure modules (MIST modules) are a proposed answer to such a requirement. MIST modules have been built on an experimental basis and the brief experimental experience with working modules indicates that they will meet the requirements and provide electronic systems which can be safely floated in the air lanes.
