I don't think I can help with practical issues. But I wonder, does the design call for the balloon to pop in the stratosphere? The term Blimp confuses me. Is it about coming home, or about zipping ar
Dear Mr. Baumann, The main focus is on getting it to its designated landing site with a launch from the stratosphere. Our craft will probably not generate a lot of lift at those high altitudes and wi
Hi Peter, I was involved in aproject similar to yours, but finally because budget issues we could not fly. However we addressed some of the problems that are not present in "conventional" UAV fligh

Also remember that the air density is low at those altitudes, therefore the "free fall period" (or lets say the control over your vehicle is minimum) must be designed for do not let the UAV spins at

Hi Guys, GPS: Thank you for the replies, we are not that concerned with the GPS we're confident that we can find modules that work above the 60k ft limit and our design will probably not be able to s
Hi Pieter, - digital HD camera's Have a look at http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/hackhd-1080p-camera-module-p-1043.html It's a GoPro sensor on a minimal support board. Claimed 33g. - Long rang
Hello, I was involved in a team that launched a stratospheric balloon last summer. To be short : we thought about almost anything...we were very careful that the electronic in the payload wouldn't ge
To find a suitable GPS wasn’t that hard in our case. If I understand well, manufacturers are not allowed to make GPS that could be used at the same time high (>18’000m) and at high speed (>512m/s
