How to build and launch a high-altitude balloon project (WHY2025)
from Chaos Computer Club - recent audio-only feed · host Aleksander Parachniewicz
If you want to try something new, unusual, and technically creative, try high-altitude ballooning! In this short presentation, I'll share my experiences from a series of three high-altitude balloon projects. These projects included launching sensor payloads to altitudes about 25km and live HD video transmission from the stratosphere. You will learn how to prepare your payload, how to track its position and telemetry data using solutions, and even how to rescue a landed payload from a tall tree!
