New Pressure Sensor Kit

NearSys has been developing (slowly) a new pressure sensor kit to replace the Weather Station kit that it sold back in 2009. The NearSys Pressure Sensor kit will become part of a new weather station kit and is available as a separate kit for BalloonSats that only need to measure air pressure. Therefore, look for more kit offerings in the very near future that incorporate the NearSys Pressure Sensor kit.

The sensor requires calibration with a 35 mL syringe. The syringe can also be used for further vacuum experiments, like making water boil at low air pressures, as shown below.
