Department of Radiation Dosimetry of the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences high-altitude balloon experiment

Repo TODO for documenting

• Block diagram update
• Correct submodule version PX4Firmware FMUv5
• Link to the used one-way Sik Modem Firmware
• Ground Software description
• Rescue cars Software description
• Standalone tracking device FW
• Payload FW and scripts

Used Scientific payload

• AIRDOS04 Prototype
• LABDOS01B
• LABDOS01A
• PiTED?
• MiniPIX

The used experiment support devices and technologies

• CUAV V5+ FMUv5 with customised PX4 Firmware supporting
  • 433 MHz Sik telemetry (one-way TX only)
  • 868 MHz Lora Telemetry (TX only)
  • TFHT01 Temperature and humidity sensors
  • TF-ATMON Logging of data from the payload
• Standalone tracking device

Design features

• Redundant telemetry link
• Gondola orientation tracking and logging
• Reliable IMU sensor processing and calibration
• Possible of use relatively high-power payloads
• Pre-flight continuous charging possible
• Power monitoring and maximal uptime calculation relevant to actual temperature
