The Problem: Individuals can spend years of time and thousands, if not millions of dollars, to construct, test, and launch a satellite into earth orbit. The Solution: Near space, between the altitudes of 75,000 and 330,000 feet, has the look and feel of space (except for the prolong microgravity available on orbit). Individuals spend only a few months and less than $1000 to construct, test, and launch a functioning model of a satellite. An entire mission from liftoff to recovery is completed in time for lunch. In many cases, near space is good enough for the desired science and engineering tests.
