Very cool! How are the balloons transferring telemetry back to earth for analysis, etc?

Asking because my research at the University of Oxford was around hyper space-efficient data transfer from remote locations for a fraction of the price.

The result was an award-winning technology (https://jsonbinpack.sourcemeta.com) to serialise plain JSON that was proven to be more space-efficient than every tested alternative (including Protocol Buffers, Apache Avro, ASN.1, etc) in every tested case (https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.12799).

If it's interesting, I'd love to connect and discuss ([email protected]) how at least the open-source offering could help.
