LoRa soil pucks, dropped
Payloads / idea 3 of 12
Soil moisture and temperature sensors left in a field
- What it earns
- Soil moisture and temperature across a field with no cell coverage.
- Mass
- 10 to 20 g each (estimate)
- Does it drop
- Yes: it needs the cargo door, which is not on the first build.
- Notes
- Needs the cargo door. The aircraft is then a data mule: it flies over, wakes them and collects, and the hangar's LoRa base already exists.
From the docs/payloads.md (brainstorm, Ryan and th-testpilot, 2026-10-05). Nothing here is decided. Have a better version of this idea, or a different one? Propose a payload.
