ROBOTSONDE

Robotsonde is a new concept of low cost automatic launcher for unmanned soundings. It has been developed according to following purposes:

  • Make operator task easier
  • Reduce possibility of error and wrong handling during preparation/launch phase
  • Increase percentage of successful soundings and available data on GTS
  • Increase security of persons specially when hydrogen is used for inflating the balloon
  • Facilitate staff management during out of normal working hours (Night or week-end)
  • Reduce global running costs of sounding stations (possible reduction of global staff)
  • Robotsonde can be operated locally but full potential is given by using complete remote control capabilities
