UpLink - High-resolution stratospheric imaging payload

Show HN: We chased a weather balloon across Montana and never found it

UpLink is a custom-built, ultralight high-altitude balloon payload that captures and transmits high-resolution images from the stratosphere. Designed with 3D-printed enclosures, redundant tracking, and an efficient radio link using SSDV, it sends detailed photos to the ground in near real-time. The project explores innovative insulation materials and offers open-source firmware and hardware designs, making it a valuable resource for amateur ballooning enthusiasts.
