Unfortunately, annual space launches are not practicalfor a number of reasons, principally cost and development time for a new mission. In the interimyears between space launches we launch and operate high-altitude research balloon payloadswith prototype designs. This provides students with the opportunity to command their “balloon-sat” and receive telemetry for a mission to altitudes in excess of 100,000 ft. The overlappingsequence of development
