Teal Drone Radiosonde Mount

thingiverse

This is my entry to the Teal Drone cover challenge. The purpose of my modification was to add a small tray to the top with slots for a strap on the sides, in order to hold in a wide range of sizes of weather radiosondes. This would allow for anyone with the modification and a functioning radiosonde and receiver to fly their drone to a desired location and utilize the sensors on the radiosonde to measure anything they might want to know. If used in place of weather balloons, this could mean much faster measurements and retrieval of the radiosonde, as the drone could be flown to wherever needed and simply returned once the measurements were made. Unfortunately, as a result of the propellers on the drone stirring up the surrounding air, it likely couldn't be used to measure wind speed or other data points that are affected by the movement of the air. However, temperature, humidity, air pressure, and any other number of things could still be conveniently measured with this.
