From the project
StratoSoar MK3, an autonomous glider meant for high-altitudes, accessible to everyone
TL:DR: The StratoSoar project is a low-cost, lightweight Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) designed for deployment from a weather balloon at various altitudes, aiming for autonomous and efficient flight to designated GPS coordinates. By offering a more affordable, compact, and lightweight alternative to conventional UAVs, StratoSoar aims to empower educators, researchers, and hobbyists with an accessible platform for exploration and experimentation.
