Deploy it in a drone, model rocket, or experimental CanSat — the onboard Arduino Nano reads BMP280 altitude, MPU6050 acceleration and gyro data, and GPS position, then streams everything over NRF24L01 to a companion ground station receiver. Log all sensor data to microSD and monitor live readings on an OLED display, recreating the core avionics of a sounding rocket or student satellite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll assemble and program a two-node system: an airborne payload that continuously collects altitude, orientation, and GPS data, and a ground station that receives and displays the telemetry in real time.
