Researchers at IIT Madras have developed a technology for drone aircraft, through which it will help in studying the nature of fire in space stations, spacecraft and satellites. According to the team of researchers, with the help of a multirotor microgravity platform, conditions similar to the low-gravity environment of the Moon and Mars can be developed on Earth, so that scientific experiments can be done easily.
The team of researchers says that at present, a situation like microgravity (a situation where the gravitational force is close to zero) can be created only through space stations, satellites, spacecraft, rockets and drop towers. Such facilities are far from the reach of most educational institutions in India.
Kedarisetty Siddhartha, a research scholar in the Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Madras, told PTI, “Another way to create microgravity-like conditions on Earth is to use ‘free-fall’ flight. The free fall of rockets and the free fall of objects from high-altitude balloons and drop towers can also create a microgravity-like situation.”
Researchers at IIT Madras have developed a method that can accurately control multirotor Unmanned Aerial Aircraft (UAVs) such as quadrotors or drones. The research by the team has been published in prestigious international journals such as Aerospace Systems, Aerospace Science and Technology, and Microgravity Science and Technology.
