High-Level Project Summary
We developed a new way of using hydrogen to make a more affordable and more Eco-friendly way of creating lift for the high altitude balloon.The new method of using hydrogen is also more economically friendly since it costs a lot less to produce, as well as helping reduce the environmental impact of using hydrogen instead of helium.

Detailed Project Description
Our project uses hydrogen as the main source to give lift to the HAB which is in stark contrast to the more conventional use of helium.
Hydrogen allows for the balloons to lift due to the force of bouancy.
We hope to make hydrogen more wide spread use as it is more eco friendly and more abundant than helium is.

Space Agency Data
We used info from the use of hydrogen in hydrogen based rockets from NASA,

Hackathon Journey
The space app challenge experience was definitely an amazing one which we will forever remember. We came in here with the purpose of putting our knowledge and skills to the test, but came out with much more than a finished project, we came out with very strong opinions on the environment and pollution behind every aspect of the project.
We chose this challenge because we have always been fascinated with earth and seeing it from all sorts of different perspectives, as well as trying to make science accessible to everyone no matter their financial state.
Using proper communication and a lot of brainstorming we were able to bypass any setbacks that we faced.
