Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the prior art has significant drawbacks
a common problem with conventional balloon launchers is that they are suitable for only a single type of radiosonde
In particular, it has been difficult and expensive to change automatic transmitters and those located in remote locations for new types of radiosondes
For the same reason, it has not yet been possible to launch more than one manufacturer's radiosondes from a single transmitter, which has limited the diversity of radiosondes that can be launched, making it difficult for long-term unmanned operations to be carried out from each Manufacturer's range to choose the most appropriate product mix is ​​not possible

Embodiment Construction

[0022] if possible from figure 1 It can be seen that the device according to the invention comprises a sonde housing 20 with which a sonde unit 60 is transported to a release position and from which the sonde unit 60 is released. The radiosonde unit 60 comprises a gas-fillable weather balloon 30 to which a radiosonde 50 for measuring weather conditions is attached by a tether 40 . The sonde housing 20 is generic and is designed in its dimensions for use in a particular generic launcher 100 . The dimensions of the radiosonde housing 20 are defined according to the dimensions of the storage location for the weather balloon 30 to be released, the radiosonde 50 and in particular the transmitter. In this context, the term universal refers to a device for which no structural changes have to be made when a change is made to the type of radiosonde unit to be released. In other words, the same radiosonde unit housing 20 is used in a particular balloon launcher to handle and launch se...

Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement for a launcher (100) for sonde units (60) and a method for launching a sonde unit (60) from a generic launcher (100). The arrangement according to the invention comprises at least one sonde case (20), which has a generic body (21) for storing a sonde unit (60), a generic launch base (10) for receiving a sonde case (20), which launch base (10) has means for launching the sonde unit (60), generic means for creating a sonde connection between the launcher (100) and a radiosonde (50), a mechanical adapter (22), which is arranged to connect to the generic body (21) and the sonde unit (60), and which is arranged to convert the generic launch means of the launch base (10) to become meteorological-balloon and sonde- specific, as well as an adapter unit (23), which is arranged to connect to the mechanical adapter (22), and which is arranged to convert the generic sonde connection to be radiosonde-specific.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to meteorological-balloon launchers. The invention relates in particular to a weather balloon launcher with which several different types of weather balloons can be launched. More specifically, the invention relates to an arrangement for a transmitter of a sonde unit, said arrangement comprising: - at least one sonde housing for storing the sonde unit; - for receiving the sonde housing a universal launch base having means for launching a radiosonde unit; and - universal means for creating a radiosonde connection between a transmitter and a radiosonde. [0002] In addition, the invention relates to a method for launching a weather balloon. The present invention is particularly concerned with launching several different types of weather balloons from a single type of launcher. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for launching a sonde unit from a universal launcher, in which method: - the sonde housing tran...
