Introducing our collaboration with Acubed, Airbus' innovation center based in Silicon Valley. For the past few months, we've been working with Acubed on an initiative called Project Monark. The project focuses on advancing weather analytics to improve the operational efficiency and environmental performance of flying commercial platforms.
As part of the effort, we lifted an autonomous "para-sonde" to the edge of of the atmosphere to make operational measurements for climate science applications. Night Crew Labs' effort on this aligns closely with our work on remote sensing payload development for airborne platforms.
Check out the flight video from our June high-altitude balloon launch!
