Payload Recovery System

Specifications

  • Payload: 1kg mass, 1U (10cm x 10cm x 10cm) size. 5V power control, location, and video throughout ascent and descent.
  • Release: triggered by balloon popping or at predefined altitude, up to 30km.
  • Flight: capable of 100km+ flight from point of balloon release. Waypoints (latitude, longitude, altitude) supported throughout. Fully autonomous.
  • Landing: defaults to launch site, landing automatically. Can be defined preflight to any point within 100km radius of predicted balloon release site.
  • Pricing: you pay only for successful flights. If we lose your payload, we replace at our cost and fly again.
  • Options: remote data transmission during flight, coordinated multiple launches, etc.: if you want to fly it, we'll try it!
