Drones provide a flexible and efficient platform for monitoring the sky and observing weather patterns. At RAAVANA, drones are used for near-space atmospheric studies, environmental research, and supporting aerospace observation missions.
Key Uses of Drones in Sky and Weather Observation
- Atmospheric Monitoring
Collecting temperature, humidity, wind speed, and air pressure data at various altitudes. - Storm & Cloud Tracking
Observing cloud formation, movement, and storm development in real time. - Aerospace Research Support
Providing aerial perspectives for satellite calibration, navigation systems, and space launch simulations. - Educational Programs
Engaging students and researchers in hands-on observation of meteorological and astronomical phenomena.
Advantages of Using Drones
- Rapid deployment and real-time data collection
- Access to remote or difficult-to-reach areas
- Safe, cost-effective alternative to manned aircraft
- Integration with satellite and ground-based observation systems
RAAVANA’s Role in Drone-Based Observation
RAAVANA combines drone technology with data analytics and aerospace research to study weather and sky conditions. This approach strengthens Sri Lanka’s ability to monitor atmospheric changes, support space missions, and train the next generation of aerospace scientists.
