Telemetry system for research stratospheric balloon [PDF]
The paper presents telemetry system for stratospheric balloon mission based on the UHF transceivers designed for Internet of Things. The system operates in 869.5 MHz frequency band. The system uses very short packet without channel coding that can be successfully received and decoded under low signal to noise ratio.

Aerodynamic Drag Analysis of Superpressure and Zero Pressure Balloons using Large Eddy Simulations (LES) [PDF]
Stratospheric balloons are an essential part of the scientific research community. In previous stratospheric balloon models used for trajectory prediction and station-keeping, the aerodynamic drag has usually been modeled as similar to that of a sphere ...

Observation of mesospheric air inside the arctic stratospheric polar vortex in early 2003 [PDF]
During several balloon flights inside the Arctic polar vortex in early 2003, unusual trace gas distributions were observed, which indicate a strong influence of mesospheric air in the stratosphere.

Time dependent profile retrieval of UV/vis absorbing radicals from balloon-borne limb measurements – a case study on NO2 and O3 [PDF]
A new "Bayesian" minimization algorithm for the retrieval of the diurnal variation of UV/vis absorbing radicals (O3, NO2, BrO, OClO and HONO) from balloon-borne limb scattered skylight observations is discussed.
