*'''Marine tether:''' In order to extend the flight endurance beyond the inherent limitations of latex, Cycloon is developing an tether and floater to rest on the surface of the ocean for days at a time. This architecture was successfully demonstrated in [[SSI-83|CY-1]].

*'''Simulations:''' The need to predict trajectories from California to the Pacific and Atlantic topical basins using the GEFS forecast ensemble has given rise to [[HABSIM]] and its associated work. See also {{slack-channel|balloons-cy-sims}}.

*'''Payload:''' Ultimately, the purpose of the balloon platform will be to carry low-cost, lightweight radiosondes. See {{slack-channel|balloons-cy-payload}}.
