BallooningOpenSourceSystem/balloon-systems

What is this?

A community-curated list of resources relevant to scientific ballooning in all its forms.

  • Points to code, how-tos, digital files, or documentation on a specific project; no files or resources are hosted or maintained here
  • Lowers the barrier to entry for those conducting research, experiments, and technology development using balloon-based platforms
  • Encourages reuse, providing starting points for practitioners seeking to avoid reinventing the wheel
  • Enhances searchability

It follows the awesome list format. It's written in Markdown, which is human-readable in text form, and easy to write.

What isn't it?

  • Not an endorsement by the maintainers (see also this repo's LICENSE) or any other entity or organization
  • Makes no guarantee that the item is fit for purpose, or that the item will never be obsolete; only the end user can make that judgment!
  • Not a place to advertise commercial products
    • Projects and guides that incorporate commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products are fine (can you imagine having to hand make every resistor and capacitor for your electronics project?), but the list item must add some additional value
