Telemetry System of the Ballon experimental twin telescope for infrared interferometry (BETTII)

2014 
[ANGLES] The Balloon Experimental Twin Telescope for Infrared Interferometry (BETTII) is an 8-meter long boom interferometer using a double-Fourier Michelson interferometer and designed to fly on a high-altitude scientific balloon. It aims to provide spatially-resolved spectroscopy in the far-infrared (30-90 um) allowing the identification and separation of closely-spaced astronomical sources, while also providing a low-resolution spectrum for each source. BETTII’s mission will complete our understanding of young stars in clustered star formation regions and the chemical evolution during formation of stars and planetary systems. BETTII provides a high angular resolution which will allow us to gather data on spectral energy distributions of individual deeply embedded protostars forming in dense clusters and distinguish between multiple embedded sources. This master thesis has focused specially on the conception of the hardware and software structure of the Telemetry System that will be used for BETTII. Thus, the main objectives have been to implement the algorithms to detect the frames, to program the different devices involved on the system and display the information in real time.
