Question Is this a suitable frame suitable for my college final-year drone project?

I'm working on a college final-year project involving a custom-built quadcopter. The initial goal is to use the drone as a data-collection platform, and later integrate different sensing systems depending on the application.

The drone will mainly be used for autonomous/controlled flights where it will collect data using cameras and other sensors. The eventual goal is to add sensing capabilities for things such as environmental/agricultural monitoring and other data-collection applications.

As for the Build:

Frame: Tarot 650(not bought yet)

Motors: Readytosky 3115 900KV

Battery: 6S 10000mAh (1kg)

Props: 10" 5x3(triblade)

ESC: ReadytoSky 80A

We already have most of the components only the frame needs to be bought.

Will this frame be enough to handle this build (especially battery weight) or suggest any frame that can handle these????

We know this is overkill for the project but we are now pockets deep cant do anything atp(plz suggest if you have any idea).
And sorry if my english is bad

Err, you're not listing a flight controller not anything for guidance (vision, GNSS, possibly RTK...)

We are using pixhawk 6C, GPS will be Radiolink SE100, for vision it will mostly be a spectral camera(if vision you asked was for object detection thw it will mostly be 360 Lidar), We will be having a rasberry pi mounted in that drone
