balloon payloads

Balloon payloads are the equipment and instruments carried by high-altitude balloons used for scientific or research purposes. These balloons, filled with lighter-than-air gases like helium or hydrogen, ascend to the upper atmosphere, taking the payload with them. The payload might include cameras, sensors, or experiments to collect data on weather, atmospheric conditions, or space-related studies. Designed to withstand extreme temperatures and low pressures, these payloads are carefully built to ensure accurate data collection and safe recovery after the balloon descends. They are valuable tools for advancing our understanding of the environment and the universe.
