Fantastic work! What science packages are you looking to put on board? Do you have a target cargo/payload weight?

Tony Philips at SpaceWeather.com has been launching stratospheric balloons to sample cosmic rays for several years now, but of course he can only sample data while the balloon stays in the air, then he has to recover them in some very inhospitable places. A stratospheric airplane that can loiter for long periods of time would likely be something he'd be very interested in.
