Discover the unique experience of watching an object you've designed from scratch take flight with the Vittascience Solar Balloon experience.

The kit includes:

• Arduino board
• Grove Monochrome LCD Screen
• SGP30 sensor (CO2 and VOCs), BMP280 sensor (pressure, temperature, altitude)
• OpenLog microSD reader, MicroSD-USB adapter, microSD card, 30 cm USB cable for Arduino
• 9V battery and 9V battery connector
• Black polyethylene 30 m x 1 m
• 2 handles, 50m of rope, and 1 pair of scissors
• 2 rolls of adhesive tape
• Kraft template
• User guide

The balloon can carry up to 1 kg of payload.

From a regulatory perspective, the balloon cannot exceed a height of 50 meters; it comes with two 50-meter ropes for this reason.

Installed and tested worldwide, the connected solar balloon experience has already won over 200 teachers. This activity aims to introduce students to programming through Arduino Uno technology while raising awareness of sustainable development issues.

During the experience, your student researchers will build the balloon's gondola and solar envelope, then program the various sensors (CO2, temperature, altitude, pressure, etc.). Once back on the ground, they can analyze the data collected during the flight.
