Change Log:

• 7 November, 2024 — Finalized and prepared for publishing
• 6 February, 2025 - Added clarifying language around mass lift capacity

Physical Properties:

• Lift capacity: 4 Lb - 12 Lb (1.8 Kg - 5.4 Kg)
  • This model of balloon is configured so that it can be compliant with the regulations laid out in 14 CFR Part 101.1 (a) (4). Which restricts lift mass and necessitates a weak connection between the balloon and the payload. Without specific modifications these systems cannot lift more than 12 lbs. Contact us for details lift capacity and modifications for heavier lift.
• Maximum Float Altitude: 70,500 ft (21.5 km)
  • Float altitude depends on lift gas type and hook-on mass. See chart below.

• Total balloon system mass (not including payload): 10.4lb (4.7Kg)
• Shelf life: 1 Year - Unit must be returned for service at one year

Command and Control Capabilities:

Urban Sky balloons are preconfigured to link to the Urban Sky Missions Control Portal. Balloons will appear in the portal upon power on (requires a clear view of the sky).

• Live redundant tracking
• Redundant remotely commanded termination
• Redundant remotely settable geofence
