Model-agnostic Methodology for High-Altitude Balloon Mission Planning
High-altitude balloons (HABs) are increasingly used for atmospheric science, technology validation, Earth observation, and resilient communications. There is a need for modeling HABs in multi-domain missions, and a key challenge for incorporating them is their flight trajectory dependence on …

Design and Performance of a Communications System for a Low-Cost High Altitude Balloon Platform for Troposphere and Stratosphere Research
… to a degree not previously possible. Data from high altitude balloons sampling up to kHz is required to characterize turbulence to the inner-scale, or smaller, over paltitudes from 20 km to 35+ km.</p> <p>This thesis presents the development of a standard balloon bus, based on reliable COTS …

Developing Hybrid Near-Space Technologies For Affordable Access To Suborbital Space
<p>High power rockets and high altitude balloons are two near-space technologies that could be combined in order to provide access to the mesosphere and, eventually, suborbital space. This "rockoon" technology has been used by several large budget space programs before being abandoned in favor of …

Balloon Borne GPS-Enabled Radiosondes That Enable Simultaneous Multi-Point Atmospheric Sensing With a Single Ground Station
<p>Radiosondes are balloon borne atmospheric instruments that are a critical tool for understanding dynamics in the lower layers of the atmosphere. The low-cost radiosondes developed in the Space and Atmospheric Instrumentation Lab have been further developed to improve the system's use as a …
