Thank you, thank you!!

I am please to tell you that our project was full funded! We appreciate all the support and to raise 121% of ask is truly awesome. We are already moving forward with the selection of a drone capable of serving as the platform for these measurements. We have chosen the DJI Phantom-3. This drone has already been ordered and will be with us in the next few week!

Stay tuned for more lab notes over the next weeks and months as we keep you posted on our progress. Thank you again donors and see you in the skies!

About This Project

Many people living in or near large cities are subject to poor air quality. Cities like Detroit are among the top ten most polluted in the USA with respect to particulate matter and ozone. The focus of this project is the development of a gas sensor array that will measures toxic gases. We will attach the array to a commercial "drone" to build vertical atmospheric profiles of pollution in the urban area surrounding Detroit, Michigan.

Blast off!
