Abstract

In this project, embedded system is used for measuring pressure, temperature and humidity in the atmosphere for up to date weather monitoring- Weather is monitored at different levels of the atmosphere, by using an hydrogen balloon in which pressure, temperature and humidity sensors are embedded .These measured values are then transmitted to the ground station for display. Radio frequency signals are used for communication between ground station and balloon floating station (space station) respectively.
