High altitude balloon testing of Arduino and environmental sensors for CubeSat prototype

Design and implementation of a real-time onboard system for a stratospheric balloon mission using commercial off-the-self components and a model-based approach

“…The obtained MSE also surpassed the results of a weather station that obtained an MSE of 0.97 • C for air temperature [23]. In addition, a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.4 • C for temperatures within 11-20 km is obtained for a high-altitude balloon application [20], which is above the MAE of 0.2 • C for the TMU. The remaining data is difficult to compare with other experiments; however, a similar behavior is obtained with percentage errors below 6% such as for a UAV sensing system [21].…”

“…Then, it is necessary to compare HERCCULES with COTS-based applications that quantitatively evaluate similar parameters. The Table 8 includes similar COTS-based research works including different types of applications for measuring environmental conditions, such as a high-altitude balloon [20], an UAV [21], or ground-based weather stations [22,23]. Furthermore, a broader perspective of the architectural solutions was obtained by considering other systems related to the space sector such as the control software system for an instrument deployed in the International Space Station (ISS) [24].…”

“…Firstly, regarding the V&V methodology, the presented work adopted the Analysis (that includes Similarity and Comparison), Inspection, Review-of-design, and Test as recommended by the ECSS-E-ST-10-02C standard. Considering that Comparison is a subset of Analysis, a large part of the related works only use verification by Comparison [21][22][23] because they are low criticality systems, only one related work uses Analysis which is proper for medium criticality systems [20], and in those critical developments used in space applications for onboard instruments [24] the Analysis, Review-of-design and Test methods are adopted using complementary tools, such as Codacy. Based on these works, it can be concluded that the V&V methodology used in HERCCULES is more oriented to critical space systems, and although the system is not critical as such, a validation was carried out with high quality considerations using the SourceMonitor static code analyzer and additional tools that supported automated testing such as g-test.…”

“…In space projects with higher criticality levels, more specific COTS processors are used such as the Intel Atom and Xilinx Zynq XC7Z030 coprocessor for the data acquisition system of an onboard instrument [24]. In the rest of the analyzed works, boards based on Atmel microcontrollers, including Arduino, are used as central OBCs such as in a high-altitude balloon as technology evaluator for CubeSat missions [20], environmental monitoring using UAVs [21], and a weather station [23]. In the presented work, the selected OBC aboard a high-altitude balloon was configured with a Linux OS making use of the POSIX profile for RTES.…”

Pengembangan smart box berbasis digital dengan memanfaatkan arduino uno sebagai sumber belajar fisika

“…Era revolusi industri 4.0 memberikan dampak signifikan terhadap perkembangan teknologi digital yang mencakup bidang elektronika, bidang telekomunikasi dan bidang industri. Perkembangan transmisi data berbasis jaringan (IoT) banyak dibuat dengan memanfaatkan sistem mikrokontroler Arduino Uno sebagai pengoperasi berbagai jenis sensor, seperti sensor ultrasonik, sensor gerak dan sebagainya (Banerjee et al, 2021;Lay et al, 2022;Mankotia & Shukla, 2022;Vastava et al, 2021). Hal ini jika diaplikasikan ke kotak sampah, penutup kotak sampah dapat membuka dan menutup secara otomatis.…”
