Abstract :
A payload rocket (rocket payload) is an unmanned rocket system that
functions as a provider of information in the form of conditions of altitude,
temperature, humidity, compass when positioned above the cloud, or sending data
in the form of photos above the cloud. It cannot be reached by humans when
aiming to find out the situation at a certain altitude without the help of other tools
such as a rocket payload. Therefore, the payload of the rocket requires a system
that can control it remotely. A ground station system capable of controlling and
monitoring the results of sensor readings sent by the payload via radio telemetry
and displaying the readings from sensor data that has been installed on the rocket
payload.
In this study, a ground station system has been created that functions as a
display of data sent by the rocket payload. This ground station display uses
Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 software. This system is designed to send commands
to the rocket payload to send sensor data to the ground station. With this ground
station system, users can monitor the results of sensor readings on the payload in
real-time.
From the research, it can be shown the visualization results from reading
the sensor data sent by the rocket payload. The sensor accuracy data obtained
shows that the sensor works well, where the compass sensor shows an average
accuracy of 95,79%, the humidity sensor shows an average accuracy of 96,68%,
the temperature sensor shows an average accuracy of 98,95%, the accelerometer
sensor can display the same value as the comparison tool, and testing the
communication distance obtained a maximum distance of 350 meters with
decreased terrain and many trees.
