We did a solar balloon, this is able to fly to the near-space, and with the camera it could film some space scenes, a benefit that I can tell of our project is that it uses a natural fuel (that is the solar radiation), also it has a benefit on the science, because is cheaper and is very helpful to the environment, i can tell that because the helium is very expensive and (taking the container, or the tank) is harmful to the environment.

With this project we want to demostrate the potential of the solar balloons, show that this ballons could be a good and economic option, also we want to reduce the use of helium as the main propellant of meteorological balloons, and finally, we want to encourage the youngest in the scientific field, this through recycling and the interaction of these with the near-space.

We use some virtual tools, like NASA Space Apps, also we use the virtual tools "Canva", Google, and some chat apps for beeng comunicated with the team members, this chat apps were WhatsApp, Google chat, Gmail and Google Meet.

Our group use a lot of NASA's data, for example:

The "Students Send Balloons to the Stratosphere" provide us inspiration to take the challenge, I mean, the title told to us that only if we are students, we can participate in big things, the text show us the importance of comunication, the problem solving habilities, the knowledge of flight prediction and the coordination with the necessary administrations.

"NASA Mission Will Study the Cosmos With a Stratospheric Balloon" data thaught us about ASTHROS, this was very interesting, because we learned about the uses that NASA give to these balloons, and diferent things that ASTHROS provided.

We also read the "Lofted by NASA Balloons, New Experiments Will Study Sun-Earth Sistem" data. In this our group learned about different NASA's projects, like BALBOA, BBC, BOOMS and more, that was very helpful to have in mind our project features.

And finally but no less important, we read the "Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility" information, in this we could see the ballooning types, that was important to decide our ballooning type.

Also we researched the " CHASAT: sondas estratosféricas caseras" blog, in this we watched some things that is important to have in mind at time to do and launch a stratospheric balloon, also we learned about the "balloons dilema", that was a little confusing, but was necessary.

Finally we found the page "Construcción y utilización de un miniglobo solar", this was one of the most important page, because we learn to make a solar balloon, also the page have the launching information.

It was very entertaining, we learn how to made a solar balloon with cheap materials and allow it to reach near-space, Our team was inspired by the desire to experience a way little known to us, and see the nearby space. We solve it with our aytitude to be able to carry out this work in the best way this challenge with our knowledge. We would like to say thanks to all our teammates, for all that they made in this challenge and their frank attitude and camaraderie.

Thanks to NASA for give us the opportunity to do this challenge.
