A Practical Guide to High Altitude Ballooning#

Welcome to the in-progress guide to everything you want to know about running your own space program. I started working on my first balloon project in 2013, worked on this guide off and on around 2016-2018, and am now picking it up again in a meaningful way.

Use the sidebar to navigate through the sections:

  • Explore - Understand the atmosphere and the physics of buoyancy
  • Build - Camera systems, sensors, GPS tracking, enclosures, and more
  • Fly - Flight prediction, aviation regulations, launch procedures
