BalloonSat Testing

This document outlines the necessary testing and verification protocols for BalloonSats to ensure their functionality in hostile near-space environments, characterized by extreme cold, severe shaking, high vacuum, and increased radiation. The recommended tests include Weight Test, Function Test, Shake Test, Cold Test, and Drop Test. Each test is designed to evaluate the BalloonSat's compliance with weight limits, operational efficiency under cold conditions, structural integrity during dynamic movements, and durability upon landing, ensuring successful mission outcomes.
