On the 12th of November 2012 at the faculty of aerospace engineering of the Delft University of Technology a design synthesises project started called StratoBlimp. Ten students get the task to develop an autonomous UAV that is launched from a balloon in the stratosphere and returns to its launchsite. Ir. B.D.W. Remes of the TU Delft MAV lab, Dr. ir. C.J.M. Verhoeven of the micro electronics department and Ir. S. Engelen of the space systems engineering department are supporting the students on this project.

Objectives

  • Launch from a balloon in the stratosphere
  • Autonomously return to the launch site
  • Use paparazzi for the autopilot system
  • Have two-way communication between the ground station and the UAV
  • Ability to adapt the landing site in flight
  • Try to comply with weather balloon regulations
  • Make video of blackness of space
  • Have the ability to take a scientific payload
