Welcome to the Space Balloon Wiki!
All technological details will be documented here. If anything is missing, please do not hesitate to contact the authors @Nikogenia and @Valis World. Thanks!
A scientific paper is still work in progress and will be published in the near future.
NOTE: THIS WIKI IS STILL IN PRODUCTION!
General information about the different technological areas can be found on the following pages:
- Balloon explains everything that rises to the sky
- Ground takes a view on our mission control
- Cloud gives a taste of the server architecture
- Communication connects all of our systems
If you are looking for specific usage guides, you are welcome to visit them:
