*'''Apexvent:''' Overcoming difficulties with altitude control at the later stages of the mission requires the development of a top-mounted vent. See {{slack-channel|balloons-cy-apexvent}}.
   
*'''ZPB:''' Polyethylene envelopes have intrinsically more desirable properties compared to latex envelopes. In-house manufacture of such envelopes is being explored in {{slack-channel|balloons-cy-zpb}} and was first demonstrated in [[SSI-90|CY-4]].
