Oven Test of Rocket Team Nosecone

 Yesterday, the payload team worked on testing the data acquisition electronics by putting our test nosecone in a controlled temperature oven.

There are 6 thermocouples placed in two rings about the internal geometry of the nosecone which can be used to interpret factors of the heatup with happens when the rocket moves quickly against the drag force in the atmosphere.
