The Balloon Project fulfills two goals: (1) it is a research project designed to identify and understand the propagation of the pesticide methyl bromide in the atmosphere and (2) it demonstrates a research instrument that is designed to collect and store air samples, transmit and record pertinent data, and provide a secure and sustainable research platform for atmospheric research. The purpose of this project is to employ a wide spectrum of technology to achieve the goals of autonomous, wireless, reliable, and precise air sampling and data collection.
Many different systems are utilized to provide services to the balloon and ground. These systems include the Air Sampling System, Power and Distribution Systems, Telemetry & Avionics Systems, and the structural components of the gondola and the balloon.
