The iMet-XQ2 is an atmospheric sensor offering radiosonde quality accuracy in an affordable, reusable package for boundary layer profiles using rotary-wing UAV's. The XQ2 is suitable for any mission that requires accurate measurements with high vertical resolution and precise spatial coordinates. 

Highlights

• Second-generation design measuring atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity
• Includes GPS receiver, rechargeable battery and data logger
• Five hour battery capacity
• Completely self-contained for rotary-wing UAV deployment
• Extensively vetted by international research institution

Note: Sensor Package does not include Drone.

System Overview:
The iMet-XQ2 is a second-generation atmospheric sensor replacing the original iMet-XQ.
The XQ2 features 15 hours of data capacity on its internal flash drive combined with rechargeable battery life of five hours - making it suitable for a wide range of missions. The XQ's real-time data integration package for the 3DR Solo Quad is sill available for the XQ2.
