Other Hardware Sensors

Will arduino sensors like infrared Temperature , Altimeter , Co2 and oxygen , will work in space , if they are used in Lunar Module , this question is bothering me , your help will be appreciated Thank , you :roll_eyes:

in space there is no Oxygen or CO2 the last time I looked so the question is theoretical.
IR temperature depends, there is no convection in space but there is radiation.
An Altimeter based upon pressure will fail as there is no pressure anymore :wink:

Another problem you might encounter is the (low) temperature in space and the radiation from the sun.
Deep space electronics are hardened to withstand radiation.

So in short, the sensors will work if you put them on a payload of a rocket (people did that) up to 10, 15 maybe 20,30 km (DOn't know) then they will fail.

WIth good isolation and heating elements the Arduino has been brought to space (google is your friend)

Thank you , but when they say , space is extremely cold , then how they measure it . secondly , definitely all sensors except altitude will work , o2 , co2 ,in inside environment like *INSIDE lunar module * .

yea i got it , it cleared my ideas . http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/qa_sp_ht.html#heat

temperature is squared related to the average speed of particles.

so if the average particle is moving slowly (little energy) it is cold
if the particle has high speed (much energy) it is warm

T ~ E == 0.5 mvv;

Inside a lunar module I expect normal temperatures and a more or less normal atmosphere.
The sensors will work as they do typically not rely on gravity.

The altimeter will not work if it is pressure based, you might consider an altimeter based upon triangulation.

alright i got you thank you so much :drooling_face:
