Flight dynamics of a high-altitude balloon

The present report will be focused on the study of the flight dynamics of a high altitude balloon, from the effect of elasticity to the prediction of its ascent trajectory. The results are implemented on an application easy to use by a user who wants to know the trajectory, velocity and other parameters, only by indicating the launch site and date. The report starts explaining the environment in which the project is performed to understand the solution design, along with the methodology that has been followed. Moreover, a feasibility study is performed analyzing the current framework and situation in regulatory, technical and monetary terms. The last part includes conclusions and further considerations that the project may have and an innovative proposal arising out from this project: provide coverage to hospitals in developing countries by high-altitude balloons.Ingeniería Aeroespacial (Plan 2010
