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 assembles and launches high altitude balloon demo(s) with 2-5kg+ payload during in-person component (optional) of course for 3-7+ days in June/July 2023. With part of Program budget toward materials and build of high altitude balloon demo  with recoverable payload up to 25-45km in Earth atmosphere in July/August, apply engineering and aerospace principles and math, to model flight performance, turbulence, materials performance, and more.
