Me and a friend of mine are designing a HAB (high altitude balloon) payload meant to go on Hack Club's Apex: https://apex.hackclub.com. It's designed to measure how altitude, temperature, and much more affect photosynthesis, and in turn, chlorophyll fluorescence in algae. We learned a while back that when you shine blue light on chlorophyll, it fluoresces red, and it's really quite a cool phenomena. We're designing custom PCBs for powering and processing data, and even. It'll all go to a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W which will beam data back to earth over 915Mhz LoRa when it's 100k feet in the sky.

Can you share more info on the LoRa hardware you've chosen and why?

We'll be using one of Adafruit's LoRa Bonnets mainly for easy of use because all you have to do it connect the headers! https://www.adafruit.com/product/4074
