This is a common problem especially when high-resolution images of planet surfaces need to be transferred.\n\nWe have constructed an autonomous system, which classifies ground images and marks important areas for transmission. \nTo test the system it is flown on a high-altitude balloon in the REXUS/BEXUS program from [DLR/SNSB and ESA](https://jvpichowski.github.io/quest-bexus/sponsors-partners/). \n\nDuring a nearly two years long development period, we could build a modular system with the ability to exchange the sensors and collect processes and transfer the data. We were guided by experts from DLR and ESA during multiple reviews all over Europe.\n\nIn the end, we stand in front of our own piece of technology ready to be launched in Esrange Space Center. As expected it was a very successful launch and we collected more than enough data to present the results on [conferences](https://jvpichowski.github.io/quest-bexus/2020/01/01/conferences/).\n\nWe like to thank our [sponsors and partners](https://jvpichowski.github.io/quest-bexus/sponsors-partners) who made this experiment possible. \n\nAfter this exciting journey, most of us finished our studies and started new projects.\nSome of us joined the WüSpace e.V. in its foundation phase to form a new basis for exciting space-related projects in Würzburg.\nFor now, we build a ground station system, a rocket tracker, and a new descent mechanism.\n\nHead over to the [webpage](https://www.wuespace.de/) and become a member of this ambitious student organization.\n\n\n## Content of this Repository\n\nThis repository contains the official student experiment documentation for the project and the content of the [project website](https://jvpichowski.github.io/quest-bexus/). \nThe conference papers could be found here:\n\n* QUEST ON BEXUS\\\n[Dengel, R.; N., Florschütz; V., Huber; T., Muller; J., von Pichowski; A., Rabinowitsch; et al.
