High Altitude Balloon

Previously funded by NATO to carry a synthetic aperture radar as a payload, Bluesat's high altitude balloon launches have returned since the COVID slowdown. With a new team we are starting from the ground up with interest from the University to carry a research payload and targeting various competitive research grants. Our high altitude balloon platform is rapidly coming to fruition and will see its first flight in the first quarter of 2025 with a 2 hour flight planned, reaching a max altitude of 35 km.
