Multi systems for switch-on the flare of TWM rocket

Abstract

Indonesia has two seasons in one year, the rainy season and the dry season. During those two seasons, sometimes the Indonesian people get the problem of flood and dry condition. The modification of the weather by seeding cloud is expected to be able to solve those problems. There are some technologies that have been used to do cloud seeding, i.e. air plane and rocket. This paper focuses on the development of various systems to switch the flare of TWM rocket (technology weather modification) on. The method of this development was using the GPS module, timer system, and the FTS (flight termination system) as the information for the microcontroller to switch the flare on. Based on the result of the test, all systems were able to work but which one is working, first, depends on the rocket condition in the air.
