Questions

How big is the High Altitude Sync Board PCB?

It measures 48 × 58 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.57 mm thick.

What parts does the High Altitude Sync Board use?

53 parts, built around the FT232RL, LP5912-3.3DRVR, BM02B-GHS-TBT and BM04B-GHS-TBT. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the High Altitude Sync Board KiCad files?

From the fcladera/EvMAPPER repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/High-Altitude-Sync-Board/High-Altitude-Sync-Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/High-Altitude-Sync-Board/High-Altitude-Sync-Board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the High Altitude Sync Board design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask fcladera before reusing the design.
