High-Altitude Balloon Return Glider

A High-Altitude Balloon Return Glider is an autonomous aerial system that uses a weather balloon to carry a payload to the upper atmosphere and then releases a glider to return safely to a designated landing zone. The system integrates GPS navigation, flight control electronics, onboard sensors, telemetry communication, and aerodynamic design to achieve precise and reusable payload recovery. Such platforms are widely used for atmospheric research, environmental monitoring, remote sensing, educational missions, and low-cost near-space exploration.
