Non-profit that fosters libre space projects and technology.
Need
Gather light pollution data for scientific purposes.
Solution
Autonomous device to monitor celestial light intensity.
Autonomous device to monitor the environment
We have designed an autonomous device that measures very accurately light intensity and other environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity, among others. This data is stored offline and sent to the cloud periodically through WiFi or cellular.
Open Source Software & Hardware
This is an Open Source project, funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Libre Space Foundation (LSF). Check our Gitlab to evaluate the source code.
Designed to operate in the most challenging environments
Despite of the small dimensions, thanks to a small solar panel, a rechargeable battery and to our power optimization algorithms, our devices can collect data in the most challenging environments. Only small periods of sunlight are required to keep the system on.
