Introduction

This is a system to collect a high altitude balloon dataset utilizing ROS for aerial navigation algorithmic development. The datasets contain downward facing visual imagery, side-facing imagery, IMU, GPS, external barometric pressure, and internal and external temperature. The system is designed to run Ubuntu Mate 20.04LTS with ROS Noetic Ninjemys on a Raspberry Pi 4 and an Arduino Nano.
