Flight Modeling
Launch site selection and flight projection modeling are a very critical when launching a Near Space Balloon. The capsule landing location can be predicted by considering weather patterns and initial launch location. Considering these factors, calculations will be made to determine the approximate landing location of the capsule after it parachutes back to Earth.
We ran flight models for different launch locations. We chose the site with the best flight path model which was highly dependant on the weather.
