This repository with slight modifications contained in commits. Annoucement on NPI website Description of the flight - Czech Only
Outsourced flight. Facebook launch video.
High-altitude balloon flight FIK-4 was realised in cooperation with ESRANGE space center.
FIK-5 flight avionics was almost completely redesigned in comparison of FIK-1 flight. This flight was the one of the first usage of PX4 based autopilot in high-altitude-balloons experiment.
Avionics almost completely based on FMUv5 hardware. The PX4 firmware was extended by LoRa module and the first prototype of TFSIK telemetry modem. There are also an improved versions of AIRDOS, measuring devices. The documentation is in separate FIK-6 repository.
Repository contains source files for high altitude balloon experiment. The experiment measures primarily cosmic rays by Silicon semiconductor detector.
The electronics hardware is made from MLAB opensource components.
