The SkyHub Software Package for Methane Sniffer by SPH Engineering is the dedicated software add-on that integrates contact-type methane sniffer sensors with the SkyHub onboard computer. Combining SkyHub firmware with a companion UgCS application, it enables automated methane concentration data acquisition, real-time gas monitoring, and georeferenced data logging — transforming any SkyHub-equipped UAV into a precision aerial methane survey platform for close-proximity leak detection, pipeline inspection, and environmental emissions monitoring.About Methane Sniffer IntegrationUnlike laser-based remote methane detectors that measure gas concentrations from altitude, methane sniffers operate at close proximity to the source — making them ideal for detecting low-concentration leaks, confirming anomalies identified during remote surveys, and conducting detailed inspection passes over infrastructure at low altitude. The SkyHub software package manages sensor data acquisition, logging, and real-time display throughout the mission.Key Features Methane Sniffer Sensor Integration — Full hardware integration between the methane sniffer and SkyHub onboard computer via dedicated firmware; manages sensor initialization, configuration, and data stream handling Automated Georeferenced Data Acquisition — Continuous, timestamped methane concentration data captured and synchronized with UAV GPS position and telemetry for georeferenced gas concentration maps Real-Time Gas Monitoring — Live methane concentration data streamed to the UgCS companion application on the ground station during flight for immediate anomaly detection and operator response UgCS Companion Application — Integrated UgCS plugin for sniffer sensor control, mission-triggered acquisition, and real-time concentration display throughout the survey SkyHub Firmware Included — Package includes the required SkyHub onboard firmware update for methane sniffer support Applications Close-proximity natural gas pipeline leak detection and integrity surveys Confirmation passes following remote methane detector surveys Landfill and waste site methane emission mapping at low altitude Industrial facility fugitive emissions detection Environmental compliance and regulatory reporting surveys Oil and gas infrastructure inspection Requirements SPH Engineering SkyHub onboard computer hardware (required) SkyHub Core Software Package (required) UgCS ground control software license (required) Compatible methane sniffer sensor (sold separately)
