High Altitude Balloon Payload Design for Atmospheric Observations

Abstract

In 2016, Microcontroller Research Group at Dept. of Electrical Engineering Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogykarta has designed and developed a payload for High Altitude Balloon. This payload has function measuring atmospheric parameter vertically and sending the data to ground station on earth using telemetry. The parameters measured are air pressure, temperature and relative humidity. Besides sending these parameters, payload also have mission monitoring real positions of payload using GPS, real time video transmission,regulary capturing and sending image from payload . This payload is tested on the annual Atmosphere Balloon Payload Competition (KOMBAT) 2016. This paper will describe the design payload, payload software algorithms and the results that have been obtained.

Development of User Interface Based on LabVIEW for Unmanned Aircraft Application

“…Through the government space agency, LAPAN (National Institute of Aeronautics and Space) and the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, they organize an annual event called KOMURINDO (Indonesian Payload Rocket Competition) to enhance the rocket research in the higher education level, such as university and polytechnic. Since 2008, this event has been held for ten times and each year the competition becomes more competitive [2,3].…”
