BYU-Idaho High Altitude Research Team

The BYU-Idaho High Altitude Balloon Team is a near-space high altitude balloon research program designed for undergraduate research with the Brigham Young University - Idaho physics department.

With the aid of Weber State University's HARBOR team, we began this program in April 2017 with filming the 2017 total solar eclipse from the stratosphere in mind. We hope to expand in the coming years to provide students at BYU-Idaho with hands-on high altitude research opportunities as they pursue degrees in STEM-related fields.
