Team RAPTORS Seagull Telemetry System and Project Packaging Overview

The Team RAPTORS project involves the development and implementation of a Seagull Telemetry System, featuring advantages like aircraft battery power and rugged construction, along with drawbacks such as difficulty in mounting external sensors. Additionally, the project includes a datalogger with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. The packaging for both the aircraft and ground station components is discussed, highlighting the need for portability, ruggedness, and shielding for RF interference. Detailed PCB layouts and assembly configurations are also described in the content.

  5. Project Packaging (Ground Station) • Less restricted than aircraft • Must be portable and reasonably rugged for field use • Diecast aluminum box; acts as ground plane and provides RF shielding • 6.73” x 4.76” x 3.98” • Powered by external 7.5 V Battery • USB Port on one side • Antenna and Status LEDs on top 8/29/2024 Team RAPTORS 5
