Stratospheric balloon missions (to a hight of maximum 50 km) are both a “warm-up” and exercise in the preparation for our cubesat satellite missions, and interesting in themselves - to a growing extent because of the heightened attention for stratospheric pollution by the uncontrolled and fast accelerating de-orbiting of low earth orbit satellites into atmosphere. While there is a …

This is not a single project, but rather a larger cluster of potential projects in the field of what could be summarized as extreme networking. The networks we are interested in are typically wireless, and can be extreme in different senses of the word: distance - hundreds of kilometers terrestrial, 10,000s of km to satellite latency - sub-ms latencies autonomy - off-grid quality - extreme remote …

LoRa is a long range, low bandwith networking protocol widely used in Internet of Things projects, sensor networks, low power, low cost and embedded systems. LoRa’s encoding schema allows for extremely long distance communications with small power usage and small simple antennas. This combination of features has made it attractive to small satellite operators flying cubesats and LoRa is now …
