Development of a Novel Cubesat Platform Instrument for The In-Situ Continuous Measurement of Vertical Weather Profile
Abstract
This paper presents the design and development of a novel CubeSat platform monitor for the measurement of vertical weather profile for the continous evaluation of the state of the atmosphere variables of temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. .Vertical weather profile data is not easy to obtain, current practice in Africa and most developing societies in other continents employs labour intensive and inefficient ground based instruments The nanosatellite was designed, developed, calibrated, standardized and field tested using mostly locally sourced resources. The performance of the weather monitoring CubeSat was assessed in the laboratory and on the field, the in-situ weather profile measurements were stored in the microSD card over the time allowed for verification The platform was found to be robust, suitable and parameters of Temperature and Pressure were observed to reduce with increasing altitudes while the Humidity increases with increasing altitudes the results are comparable with those obtained with standard instruments.
