Development of a new-generation active falling sphere
Abstract
A new generation falling sphere, designed to measure winds and temperatures, is described. This sphere combines nanotechnology accelerometers and GaAs radiofrequency transmitters in a 100 g to 150 g package. This new instrumentation can be added to the standard inflatable sphere launched by a rocket or separately deployed from a larger rocket in which it is carried as part of a much larger scientific instrument package.
