High Altitude Balloon

Previously funded by NATO to carry a synthetic aperture radar, Bluesat's High-Altitude Balloon launches have successfully returned since the COVID slowdown. In July 2025, the team successfully carried out its first launch, gathering more than 100,000 data points and reaching a peak altitude of 34.1 km during its two-hour and thirty-one-minute flight. Building on this success, the team is getting ready for its second launch in December 2025 with significant upgrades including a cleaner inflation rig and active telemetry. Moving forward, we hope to carry payloads for both our own satellite project and wider research applications.
