Abstract :

<p><p> The Universe is infinite as every day a new universe is created. Different types of celestial bodies such as asteroids planets comets etc. come near to our home planet earth for some interval of time. To study the characteristics of such celestial bodies, we came up with an the idea of Hydrogen probe A hydrogen filled weather balloon made up of rubber (envelope or latex) could be used for getting the experimental data of the celestial bodies without going into space and spending large sum of money. The probe will consist of a payload that will be having the high definition camera attached to the telescope and the whole setup attached to a programmed camera gimbal to click the pictures of comets, asteroids and planets that come near earth and it also will have spectrograph and chronograph to study the characteristics such as velocity, volume, weight, materials, diameter and radiation. The reason to use this setup so that we can get to know about the characteristics of a celestial body such as asteroid or comet as it may get destroyed by entering our atmosphere or by the sun. Even students can perform this experiment and learn and explore new things about space dynamics and astronomy at economical cost. Recently we conducted the experiment to click the pictures of ISON comet that passed through earth on 27th November 2013 by sending our payload to an altitude of 18,000 meters. The Hydrogen probes can go up even to an altitude of 50,000 meters. We can get on board data from the payload by setting up a ground station and using global positioning system like Ublox Lea–5h of frequencies 400–406 MHz’s. Chronograph can be attached in front telescope with RGB (Red–Green–Blue) filters to capture the corona of the comet or asteroid that is travelling at an extremely high velocity and it also gives a two–dimensional analysis of coronal discharge of atoms. They are travelling at very high velocity due to the gravitation pull of the Sun and kinetic energy with respect to their mass according to newton’s law of gravitation. Spectrometer can be used to analyse and measure properties of light over a specific portion of Electromagnetic spectrum and through this we can identify materials of the celestial body along with the spectrum of the body and the frequencies of light it emit. Using this data we can process its values in analysis software’s such as SEQUES, Mascot and can get to analyse its structure. The weather balloon will burst after a particular altitude due to decrease in the pressure of surrounding and can safely ought to ground using parachutes or gliding surfaces. The Gimbal is used to counter the rotation of payload with respect to celestial body.</p></p>
