CubeSanchar Completes VyomLink-1 Balloon Mission Demonstrating Data Relay up to 10 km
CubeSanchar successfully completed the VyomLink-1 High-Altitude Balloon mission, demonstrating a store-and-forward data relay capability up to 10 km altitude with 100% packet reception. The payload continued transmitting health signals beyond 32.8 km altitude despite an anomaly affecting data relay above 10 km. The mission highlights progress in affordable near-space communication systems for aerospace and remote connectivity. The cause of the relay interruption is under investigation following payload recovery.
