UAVOS has introduced the profitable completion of a take a look at flight of Mira Aerospace’s Excessive- Altitude Pseudo-Satellite tv for pc (HAPS) ApusNeo 18, with UAVOS offering full engineering and technical assist. One of many key aims of the flight was to guage the collectively developed optoelectronic, gyro-stabilized plane POD (Payload Onboard System) by acquiring imagery from altitudes ranging between 3,000 and
12,000 meters. In the course of the mission, the POD captured high-resolution imagery with exact geolocation knowledge from an altitude of 12,000 meters, reaching a Floor Pattern Distance (GSD) of as much as two meters. The take a look at befell in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and lasted constantly for 48 hours.
The optoelectronic gyro-stabilized plane POD is provided with an modern automated temperature management system for heating and cooling digital modules, making certain dependable operation within the stratosphere at temperatures as little as -70°C underneath rarefied air situations.
The system additionally offers radio communication at distances exceeding 100 km. The gimbal’s optical unit permits statement inside a ±90°C vary with high-precision angular positioning.
The payload housing options an aerodynamically optimized design, and the full payload
weight is 3.6 kg.
Aliaksei Stratsilatau, Founder and CEO of UAVOS, stated: “The profitable cooperation with Mira Aerospace displays our dedication to constantly advancing the capabilities of each corporations. We additionally proceed to work towards our final objective of leveraging the HAPSplatform for a number of functions, together with cell connectivity, border monitoring, mapping, forest hearth detection, and emergency response.”
To increase the HAPS operational vary, the take a look at flight additionally integrated a data-relay community based mostly on floor modem repeaters. Every repeater is able to offering a protection space of as much as 200 km. Aliaksei added: “The information-relay station trials have been performed in preparation for upcoming business flights in Europe, deliberate for the approaching months.”
