Intelligent Monitoring System for Microgravity Experiments – Sensor Integration in a Biological Experimentation Module.
The study of microgravity effects on biological systems and fluids requires high-precision monitoring technologies capable of operating under extreme conditions. This project develops an advanced data acquisition and transmission system designed for space experiments, integrating strategic sensors both in a biological experimentation module and within the rocket’s structure.
Inside the experimental module, the GY-MS5837 30BA sensor records pressure and temperature at different points within the fluid, while the P45 Vertical level sensor detects changes in liquid distribution, enabling the analysis of displacements and instabilities induced by microgravity. To correlate these measurements with flight dynamics, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) BNO055, installed on the rocket’s structure, continuously monitors orientation, acceleration, and angular velocity, providing a detailed analysis of conditions during launch and the microgravity phase.
Data management and processing are handled by a Raspberry Pi, which not only centralizes data acquisition but also transmits it in real time to the ground station using a LoRa-based telecommunications system. This approach ensures efficient, low-power communication, essential for long-duration space missions.
This innovative system will enable a detailed observation of fluid behavior in microgravity, generating critical data for the development of new technologies in biotechnology, fluid dynamics, and space exploration. With this advancement, more precise and scalable experiments become possible, making a significant contribution to the future of research in low-gravity environments.
