The ability of the balloon to maintain altitude on its own through almost the entire flight to such precision was a testament to the resilience of the technology. Problems encountered include:

The ability of the balloon to maintain altitude on its own through almost the entire flight to such precision was a testament to the resilience of the technology. Nevertheless, problems were encountered, including the following:

*The power draw for heating was quite high; the battery started at a voltage of ~ 4.34 V and was around ~ 3.40 V upon landing. 3.20 V is the point at which the flight control system ceases to function; thus, for longer flights, more power is needed. Proposed improvements included more battery storage and, more importantly, solar panels for power regeneration.
