| ValBal (Valve and Ballast), is a world record-breaking high-altitude balloon payload that autonomously maintains a set altitude for days of flight by venting helium gas and dropping ballast.

| HABEES (High Altitude Balloon Electrical Engineering Systems) is the umbrella project for all EE & CS projects outside of ValBal (that is, largely oriented at standard profile balloon launches). Because of this, there is a nearly limitless number of possibilities and projects to pursue within HABEES -- with that said, if you're new to EE or CS, or a veteran, and just generally want some ideas of what you can make, here's a bunch! Contact {{slack-user|kirillsafin}} to discuss working on any of these! | | HABEES (High Altitude Balloon Electrical Engineering Systems) is the umbrella project for all EE & CS projects outside of ValBal (that is, largely oriented at standard profile balloon launches).

| BUZZ is the umbrella subteam for balloons radio projects. It operated as part of HABEES, and works to develop/try/test new radio technologies within balloons. ValBal also develops independent and system-specific radio systems. Some ideas for possible projects, as well as ongoing projects, are below: Talk to {{slack-user|kirillsafin}} and {{slack-user|ariatedjarati}} about them! | | BUZZ is the umbrella subteam for balloons radio projects.
