Collaboration

Collaborating with IISER Bhopal, we launched a High Altitude Balloon to capture atmospheric data and imagery from the stratosphere. The payload successfully reached 33km before bursting and descending, covering a ground distance of roughly 150km.

Mission Profile

Objective: To demonstrate capability and gather data.
Status: Mission Completed Successfully.
Validation: All systems functioned as designed.

What is new?

Communication Wireless Communication System Based on Lo-Ra Techonology

Key Achievements

Pi-cam for image Capturing.
Reached an altitude of 33km and Travelled 150km.
Verified data against theoretical models.

Team & Learning

This high-altitude balloon mission pushed our communication range limits. The team gained critical insights into long-distance telemetry, atmospheric sensors, and payload thermal management in near-space conditions.
