Implementation of an extension for calculation of balloon flightpath

[Christian Rolf]

Implementation of an extension for calculation of balloon flightpath based on input parameters and wind data.

GUI extension, should collect following input parameter:

• Start Position and Time: Lat, Lon, Altitude, Time
• Ascent and Decent rate of the balloon
• Burst altitude
• Send input data to server and request flightpath
• Visualization of flightpath on horizontal and vertical section

‌

Server extension:

• Calculates trajectory based on available wind data (e.g. ECMWF) and parameters
• Sends the flightpath points to GUI
