Small and low-cost balloons using EyePod-Mini IO/radios are ideal for urban and constellation launches and for improving the learning experience. Most of the STEM population live in urban areas, near water, near forest, deserts, mountains, and remote locations and are unable to effectively fly conventional balloon systems. The EyePod-Mini is a professional grade all-in-one data and tracking pod with a mass of 150 g including 2.2 AHr batteries. Its mass is significantly less than the mass of the balloon and it fits into the balloon neck (3 cm dia.) as an extended tube. It communicates 24/7 globally with Globalstar satellites via the internet. An additional low power 900 MHz tube section and a 2m APRS Ham radio tube section are also available for real-time data and tracking. |
