Greetings from the 成人禁区 High Altitude Ballooning Team! Since 2009, 成人禁区 Ballooning team has actively accumulated experience and expertise in constructing various science and engineering payloads for high-altitude ballooning. Having successfully participated in the 2017 total solar eclipse nationwide ballooning campaign, 成人禁区 team aims to make another big success in the 2023-24 eclipse ballooning campaign and demonstrate its technical competency and the quality of students' learning experience at 成人禁区. In addition to a common set of eclipse ballooning payloads and ground stations for the 2023-24 nationwide eclipse ballooning, 成人禁区 team has developed, or has been working on, several other payloads to enhance its options in streaming of multiple real-time videos over a single VHF (200-300MHz) and/or microwave link (2.8GHz/5.8GHz), ii) multi-modal (140MHz/900MHz/1.6GHz/2.5GHz) ballooning tracking with or without relying on an Internet connection, and iii) mobile ground stations utilizing a legacy commercial map software for balloon locations in flight.
