B-T-D 12 Modeling and Software

Balloon Image

Welcome to the Balloon Telemetry Determination Support Software repository! This project is dedicated to developing a comprehensive telemetry system for high-altitude balloon tracking missions. The following are what will be stored and what has been stored in this repository.

  1. Mechanichal Models
  2. Electrical Models
  3. On-Board Computer
  4. Server
  5. Ground Station

Project Goal

The primary goal of this project is to create a robust and reliable telemetry system that can efficiently transmit data from a high-altitude balloon to a ground station via an intermediate server. This system will enable real-time monitoring and data collection during the balloon's flight.

Meet the Team:

Repository Structure

1. Onboard Computer

The onboard_computer directory contains all the necessary code and scripts for the onboard computer system of the high-altitude balloon. This component is responsible for:

  • Collecting telemetry data from various sensors.
  • Processing and encoding the data.
  • Transmitting the data to the server via a radio link or satellite communication.

2. Server

The server directory hosts the code and scripts for the server component. The server acts as an intermediary between the onboard computer and the ground station. It is responsible for:

  • Receiving telemetry data from the onboard computer.
  • Storing and organizing the received data.
  • Retransmitting the data to the ground station for further analysis and monitoring.

3. Ground Station

The ground_station directory contains the code and scripts for the ground station component. This is the final destination for the telemetry data and is responsible for:

  • Receiving data from the server.
  • Displaying real-time telemetry data to mission operators.
  • Storing data for post-mission analysis.
  • Providing tools for visualizing and analyzing the data.

How to Use

  1. Onboard Computer: Follow the instructions in the onboard_computer/README.md to set up and configure the onboard computer system.
  2. Server: Follow the instructions in the server/README.md to set up and configure the server.
  3. Ground Station: Follow the instructions in the ground_station/README.md to set up and configure the ground station.
