Quantum sensors based on atom interferometry have become a valuable tool in numerous fields of scientific research. The sensitivity of atom interferometers depends predominantly on the possible free falling time of the coherently split atomic ensemble. Hence working towards a space born experiment, where the free falling time is only limited by the expansion rate of the atomic ensemble, is a logical step. The MAIUS-2/3 sounding rocket missions will be a step towards such a space born experiment by showing the feasibility of a dual species atom interferometer in space. Based on our experience from the predecessor mission MAIUS-1, we improved our electronics to match the needs of a mission with two species. We downsized the electronic components used for MAIUS-1 to fit hardware for dual species operation in an apparatus of the same size. With this poster we present our current progress. The QUANTUS/MAIUS project is supported by the German Space Agency DLR with funds provided by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) under grant number: 50WP1431
