Tracking Radio Bravo

HABEX Secondary Radio - Radio Bravo - NSL Tracker

Inexpensive GSM/GPS backup tracker for our HABEX2 project.\ There are a couple out on the market. Things for tracking your pets and such.\ But instead of buying one, we wanted to make one that's easily hackable and could be configured specifically for the HABEX mission.\ At the core of the tracker is simcom's SIM908 module.

Current list of cameras in the science payload. Tenative plan is a Canon SD450 running CHDK for still photography and a HackHD camera for taking HD video of ascent/descent

Currently, the SD450 is listed as only rated to operate from 0-40C and the HackHD is listed at Sparkfun as operating from -10C-45C. It may be necessary to provide on-board heating to keep the cameras operational during flight. Investigate “ANTI-FOG STRIPS” as a solution. Electronics may need to be wrapped in kapton tape to keep moisture out.

RF Testing, to be defined later, will involve testing the rf outputs of all tracking devices. Specs will be reviewed and documented to assure that there is no interference between devices and so the team know what radios to prepare.

Complete Systems Testing, to be defined later, will involve testing the entire payload at the same time for 8 hours to simulate a flight.

**Environmental Thermal Vacuum Chamber**

In order to simulate the conditions of high altitude flight we must either buy or build our own thermal-vac chamber. Since commercial ones cost more than $10k, we will be designing, and building our own low cost thermal-vac chamber.

HABEX Flight Prediction Software (Powered by the CUSF Hourly Predictor)

In Progress

Servers are being configured to run a cron job once every 6 hours with new weather data to predict the landing path of HABEX for each hour of the next 24 hours. These records will be kept to create a statistical analysis of different launch sites and to determine the optimal launch/landing zones.

Instructions:

1) Download and install: https://github.com/cuspaceflight/cusf-landing-prediction

2) Follow: http://pastebin.com/vvB2VySE

3) compile the C program inside pred_src

4) cmake libglib and build-essential

The following is an hourly prediction of the HABEX launch. The path trajectory is calculated for each hour and the landing spot for that hour is represented by a single red dot. The way to translate this data you are seeing is like this. The launch location is the same. Imagine being at that launch location with HABEX and launching it on hour 1, it will take off, rise, burst, and land. That landing location is represented by a single red dot. The following red dots are where it would land if you were launch it each proceeding hour.

This is very helpful in that you can see where it will be landing in the hours ahead. This was developed by CUSF.

Click the red dots to see the path.

APRS decoding with an SDR or Ham Radio/Audio Output

Step 1: Obtain the appropriate hardware

In terms of hardware, there are two ways to receive APRS data:

  1. Use a cheap DVB-T dongle as your receiver. Be sure to get one with the RTL283x chipset; you'll have to use Google to find out which ones do or do not have this. We've had good luck with ones using the RTL2838UHIDIR.
  2. Use a real Ham Radio, buy or create an audio cable that connects the speaker output of the radio to the computer audio input, have the software decode the radio's audio

Step 2: Obtain the appropriate software

Windows

Using SDR#:

In MixW:

If the above doesn't work you may have a shitty sound card like CHRIS. Download (TPB) and install Virtual Audio Cable. Install the device and set SDR# to send out to it. Set MixW to read from it.

OS X

APRS packets have successfully been decoded using the gqrx SDR and one of the cheapo DVB-T dongles with the RTL2838UHIDIR chipset. This was under OS X 10.8.2 (two days later, 10.8.3) with gqrx installed from gqrx_7.dmg and the laughably-terrible antenna supplied with the DVB-T dongle.

Some notes about gqrx:

Cross-platform (XASTIR)

If you feel like stepping into the wonderful world of software that nobody has really tested yet, check out XASTIR. We're not saying it's not good software, just that none of us are actually using it so can't comment on its usefulness. However, it's supposed to be really awesome for APRS and apparently runs on every platform under the sun. Yay!

= A note about XASTIR on OS X =

Because OS X does things in weird ways, it's recommended to get XASTIR in pre-built form from here. Read the instructions before trying to install it; you'll save yourself a lot of heartache. It will also require the current version of XQuartz in order to work. Note that this is presently untested though it is confirmed as at least installable and executable on OS X 10.8.3. The map data seems to be taking forfreakingever to download and install; YMMV.

XASTIR is available in Macports, but it's a slightly older version and doesn't build properly - at least, that's the case under XCode 4.6.1. Just get the binaries.

Step 3: Decode the captured packets

Offline Method (RECOMMENDED):

Online Method (Use only if you have an internet connection):

Anything that is not an Orange or Red Zone is an OK landing site:
