Ballon SatM01 By Praveen
Chennai
The project model designed is a type of miniaturized satellite launched with the help of a helium filled weather balloon. This mini satellites can perform the following actions -
1. Measure the atmospheric pressure and temperature using a piezo-resistive sensor
2. Store the same using a micro-SD card on board
3. Transmit the same when in L.o.S, within 1 km range (approximately)
4. Ideal for around 10 km altitude from ground, launched with a helium balloon designed to burst at target altitude. It would descend with the help of a parachute.
5. Encloses a GPS tracker to provide the landing spot via SMS or through the web platform
