Goals
- Create or extend a simulation tool for the mission simulation of stratospheric balloons, including filling, ascent, descent, for multiple balloons
- Analysis of several possible failure scenarios and their implications
Tasks
- Based on an initial set of needs, define requirements for a stratospheric balloon mission analysis tool
- Create a new tool or extend an existing tool for stratospheric balloon mission analysis
- Implement functionalities as defined by the created requirements list, at least:
- Variable Balloon and payload size
- Estimation of payload train drag based on rough parameters (box, barrel, ball shape)
- Mission Events (e.g. payload separation), that change the mission configuration during the mission
- Exposing core functions as a library to be part of a larger software stack
- Simulation of payload data (pressure, temperature) based on standard atmosphere models
- Visualization of mission via web-interface
- Provision via a container for quick start
- Validate the functionality by comparison with existing tools as well as comparison with existing balloon flight data
- Create comprehensive user documentation (e.g. in the form of a wiki, reStructuredText in combination with Sphinx, Doxygen comments)
- Prepare a short report and presentation to present the approach, results and the validation of the tool
Expected results:
- An extendable simulation tool capable of simulation pre-defined scenarios
- Documentation of the developed tool and code stored on a Gitlab repository
- A short report and presentation documenting the approach, results and validation of the approach
- Based on mission availability, the opportunity for participation in a stratospheric campaign of the Chair of Spacecraft Systems may arise
