SkyWinder: A Python package for flight control, telemetry, and image analysis

SkyWinder is an open-source Python package useful for instrument control, telemetry, and image analysis. It adapted from software that successfully managed flight preliminary analysis, data visualization a balloon-borne mission it has broad uses mid- upper-atmosphere science instrumentation including aurora, cloud, airglow imagers. will save future aeronomy experiments significant time money, lowers the barrier to entry in analyzing hosted public available repositories. Our consists of two distinct parts: analysis modules. The includes modular distributed control telemetry subsystem coordination running mobile such as payloads, airplanes, sounding rockets, suborbital reusable launch vehicles (sRLVs), well isolated semi-autonomous ground instruments. provides functionality more broadly neutral upper atmosphere dynamics, pointing reconstruction, projection, processing, various techniques.
