# KAOS-1

## Project Overview

KAOS-1 Is an high-altitude balloon mission designed to validate core subsystems and operational workflows that directly support future orbital CubeSat missions.

The primary objective of KAOS-1 is to collect atmospheric telemetry (temperature, pressure, GPS, orientation, CO2, humidity, etc.) at stratospheric altitudes and demonstrate end to end communication, power management, and recovery processes. Pushing systems into the near space environment, we reduce risks for subsequent orbital platforms developed by the Knights Satellite Club.

This project also serves as hands on training for club members, providing experience in systems integration, flight hardware assembly, telemetry analysis, and regulatory compliance. It's intentionally architected to reflect future satellite constraints to ensure maximum reuse of hardware and software when needed for future missions.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.kscucf.org/projects/knights-air-observation-satellite/kaos-1.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
