2018 WSGC Elijah High Altitude Balloon Final Report

Abstract

The 2018 Elijah Payload Project focused on designing, fabricating, and flying a high-altitude balloon payload.  This payload had six different research topics: 360 degree video, atmospheric composition, flight path predictors, radiation sensors, sonification, and lighting fire at high altitudes.  Flight predictors were run before and during the flight, and the payload included a separate GPS tracking payload to give us its exact location.
