We know that space is cold. Our experiment won't be in deep space, but we do need to make sure everything will work well below freezing. Engineers use reliability testing to make sure that every part of a system performs correctly under all possible conditions.
We devised a little test for some of our equipment. The SPOT2 GPS Tracker and the GoPro HERO2 (with battery BacPac) survived our "cold tempurature testing" -they continued to function perfectly after a 2 hour visit to the deep freeze. The freezer is set to 0°F (-18C). .
