Aim

The SunbYte 5 team are building TerrabYte, the ground-based twin of our high-altitude balloon platform.

Summary

Testing and observations can be performed on the ground. TerrabYte will be ideal for this. It will allow us to test 

  • new instrumentation such as the SOLIS spectrograph, 
  • our ground operations, telemetry, and communication systems
  • have a hands-on observatory that we can use for education and outreach

Watch out for updates and news on the design, build, and location!
