The Armenian space research laboratory Bazoomq and the Indian company Red Balloon Aerospace have signed a partnership agreement covering near-space testing, stratospheric missions, payload integration, and the development of high-tech solutions for high-altitude operations.
The Indian side brings the experience of its recent SANA mission – the country's first stratospheric flight using a domestically produced super-pressure hydrogen balloon. This project has placed India among a small circle of nations possessing their own technologies for such systems.
Bazoomq emphasizes that cooperation with Red Balloon Aerospace will be an important step for the development of Armenia's private space sector. The laboratory already has experience with stratospheric launches and intends, together with its partners, to develop engineering solutions, test equipment, and expand international projects in the space field.
