Stratospheric balloons are high-altitude platforms operating between 50,000 and 120,000 feet, used for scientific research, weather monitoring, Earth observation, and communication.
Made from lightweight materials like polyethylene, they carry instruments to gather data or test technologies in near-space conditions.
Cost-effective and easy to deploy, they are ideal for temporary missions, supporting advancements in meteorology, astronomy, and climate science.
