SkySense: LoRa-Enabled Autonomous Weather Monitoring Drone

SkySense is a proposed quadcopter-based weather and air-quality monitoring system that streams sensor readings (DHT22 temperature and humidity, ENS160 air purity) to a ground station over a point-to-point LoRa link, where an ESP32 displays data and forwards it to Google Cloud. The paper's contribution is the architecture, packet design, and analytical estimates of airtime, link margin, and hover endurance, along with a verification protocol. Its features remain classified as proposed, pending field trials.
