A lot of work went into designing the custom pcb for our experiment. Especially because no one in our team had a clue about electronics before the project started.

A lot more work has to be done to convince the experts at the "Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR)" of the validity regarding our experiment.
