Design and Fabrication of Balloon Satellite

Abstract

The objective of this research is to know, study and visualize (1)about the atmospheric parameters, temperature, density, pressure at various altitudes of the earth atmosphere within the region from sea level to thirty-five kilometers altitude above; (2)the horizon of the Earth atmosphere; ozone layer presence and concentration of ozone gas at different altitudes; (3)the shape of the water molecules in the clouds;(4) the global warming gasses concentration in various regions of atmosphere; (5)the moisture concentration at various regions of earth atmosphere; (6)to calibrate the theoretical data and to understand the concept of fluid separation. A satellite system is made with the help of raspberry pi as the main computer to find the physical properties such as temperature, pressure, moisture percentage chemical properties such as carbon dioxide concentration, ozone concentration and attributes such as altitude and sky images; then the system is placed in a heat insulation chamber with all the sensors exposed to the atmosphere and the main system in the center. The system is now fixed to a latex balloon filled with helium gas. The setup is lifted due to buoyancy and at a certain point in time when the balloon expands at around 35000m the balloon explodes and the satellite starts to fall, the parachute gets ejected and the satellite makes a soft land to the ground, with the help of the position information transmitted by GPS, the satellite is tracked down and the recorded readings are tabulated and analyzed.
