| Research Abstract |
In order to evolve stratospheric aerosol observations, a new low cost observation platform, which enable to recover on bord instruments and samples, has been developed. A small unmanned glider with observation instruments and navigation system is launched with small rubber balloon. Then UAV is separated from the balloon and glide to ground station by auto navigation. Each components have been designed and tested in Kyushu and Hokkaido, Japan and actual observations were carried out at Syowa station, Antarctica, in January 2013. Observation during ascent, launching with small rubber balloon, separation from balloon, and gliding flight with auto navigation were successsfully performed five times, and the highest observation altitude reached 10 km in the stratosphere.
