Learn how to design, build, and operate systems, robots, and aerostats in Venus atmosphere. Immersive 8-week R&D experience (mostly online) to design and support aerostat balloon TRL demo on Earth and later in Venus clouds. Cohort discusses design,build, COTS systems of high altitude balloon demo(s) with 2-5kg+ payload during course. Learn to apply engineering and aerospace principles and math, to model flight performance, turbulence, materials performance, and more.
