The development of the COTB system has spanned multiple years, coinciding with the continuous professional development of Luke’s engineering career. Initially conceived as a means to capture imagery from the stratosphere, COTB has evolved to encompass a comprehensive suite of functionalities. These include the capacity to measure both internal and external parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure. Additionally, the system offers the option to integrate a Geiger Muller detector, enabling the measurement of cosmic radiation levels.
