WHAT’S A PAYLOAD?
A high-altitude balloon payload is the equipment launched into the stratosphere — up to 120,000 feet — to collect data, test technology or capture imagery in near-space conditions.
ENGINEERING ABOVE AND BEYOND
High-altitude balloon projects combine aerospace, mechanical and electrical engineering to turn theory into flight. Students design, build and launch payloads into the stratosphere, gathering real scientific data and gaining hands-on experience that elevates their learning.
FROM CLASSROOM TO STRATOSPHERE
What started as a classroom project turned into a real-world experiment at 100,000 feet. By applying engineering principles and problem-solving skills, students transformed theoretical knowledge into practical scientific contributions.
PARTNERING WITH NASA
As part of NASA’s Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project, students collaborated with aerospace experts over two years. This partnership provided hands-on experience in data collection, engineering and scientific discovery — giving students a direct role in space-related research.
