The payloads will launch aboard a high-altitude balloon system, provided by the Canadian Space Agency, and will give students enough experience to perform their own balloon launches. As part of the launches, the teams are introduced to engineering project processes and produce technical and progress reports in different phases. The campaign provides an amazing way to develop STEM<\/span> skills.<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n<section> <\/p>\n<h2>List of payloads<\/h2>\n <\/p>\n<section> <\/p>\n<h3>Zero-pressure balloons<\/h3>\n <\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-unstyled lst-spcd\"> <\/p>\n<li> \nHigh-Contrast Imaging Balloon System\u00a0<abbr>II<\/abbr> (HiCIBas-<abbr>II<\/abbr>)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<ul> \n <\/p>\n<li>Organization: Universit\u00e9 Laval<\/span><\/li>\n <\/p>\n<li>Objective: Generic precision pointing telescope for astronomy observations<\/li>\n \n\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n \n\t\t\t<\/li>\n <\/p>\n<li> \nTechnologies for Recognition and Awareness of Space Debris (TRASH)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<ul> \n <\/p>\n<li>Organization: Universit\u00e9 Laval<\/span><\/li>\n <\/p>\n<li>Objective: Collect data on space debris in low Earth orbit using an <abbr>EMCCD<\/abbr> camera<\/li>\n \n\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n \n\t\t\t<\/li>\n <\/p>\n<li> \nHigh-Altitude Balloon Light at Night Experiment\u00a0v3 (HABLAN\u00a0v3)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<ul> \n <\/p>\n<li>Organization: C\u00e9gep de Sherbrooke<\/span><\/li>\n <\/p>\n<li>Objective: Multispectral, multi-angular and multi-resolution remote sensing of ground-based artificial light systems<\/li>\n \n\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n \n\t\t\t<\/li>\n <\/p>\n<li> \nRSOnar v2<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<ul> \n <\/p>\n<li>Organization:\u00a0York University<\/li>\n <\/p>\n<li>Objective: Technology demonstration of dual-purpose, commercial grade, CubeSat compatible star tracker concept for space-based space surveillance<\/li>\n \n\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-9 mrgn-tp-md\">\n<figure> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asc-csa.gc.ca\/images\/sciences\/ballons\/campagne-2023-equipe-rsonar-v2-id-18556.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"img-responsive\"\/> <figcaption class=\"mrgn-tp-sm small\"> <\/p>\nThe York University team that worked on RSOnar.
