Aborted or failed launches

  • Mission aborted due to gas loss during balloon inflation
  • Partially failed mission due to chaotic guidelines about integration between Remote Sensing Payload and On-Board Computer.

General technical problems

  • Balloon material not suitable to sustain relevant differential pressure levels: during one test the balloon rapidly lose altitude because it expanded too much at the point of opening a hole in the film > new balloon material identified and currently under testing
  • During launch operations, strong winds caused difficult balloon management and caused creeps and holes
  • Difficult recoveries depending on landing zone
  • Balloon inflation takes a long time (but the gas tanks adapter helps in shortening this phase)
  • 3D printers sometimes need deep maintenance to properly work
  • New lifting gas valve boards were assembled with bad components and had to be reordered
  • Georeferentiate images is not trivial with current platforms doing georeferencing
