Ever wonder what's on the inside or the outside of our high altitude weather balloon payload box? In this video, we give you a tour around our main radiosonde payload boxes to show you all the components, Arduino flight computers and action cameras as well as how we mount them all and have the prepared for flight.

To learn more about our Arduino based flight computer, APRS transmitter, RTTY radio transmitter, ham radio balloon tracking methods or any of our other onboard technology and data sensors; visit overlookhorizon.com/

    Kids these days might think it's some kind of real life Loot Box falling from the sky, heh.

    Nice job! Fun to know what is inside of "the box".

    Greetings and Salutations I was here about the osmosis that's been going on about the article of turf that's been going around

    Hello, how do you get your landing alarm to activate at 2000ft please? Thank you!
  • @lferres
    Hey sir! Nice video thank you it's very helpful! However, do you think you could give more detail about the batteries you're using? Is it lithium? Thank you very much for your time! Laurent

    What radio system do you use to track your data? We are working on our first project but not sure which radio transmitter / receiver system to use.

    4:43 — Oh, you’re using an Arduino system. Is it because it’s more power-efficient than a Raspberry Pi? Another question: you mentioned you work in IT/software engineering. Any special-sauce hacks running the on-board system(s)? Cheers!
