| description abstract | This note is intended to discuss the returnable Global Positioning System (GPS) sonde (RGS). RGS, adopting the shape of an aircraft, is 700?1000 g in weight. RGS is carried up into the air by a balloon and continuously transmits atmospheric temperature, humidity, and wind data to the ground. As soon as the balloon bursts or stops rising, RGS will get detached from it and glide back, under the guidance of GPS data and the control of CPU, to the ground station or the preset recovering spot. The flight and the landing are completely autonomous. Since the returned RGS can be repeatedly used, the cost of air sounding could be reasonably reduced. | |
