This video documents the Aerospace Experimental Association's first and third high altitude balloon missions at Florida Atlantic University, both launched from the Duette Fire Station in Manatee County. The footage follows the preparation, launch, flight, and recovery of two unique missions that together highlight FAU's student-led research in space systems and plant science. The first mission reached about 110,000 feet and tested the Environmental Control System developed for FAU's first CubeSat. Inside the payload, genetically modified tobacco plants from FAU's Biology Department were exposed to the radiation of near space to study how genetic changes might improve plant resilience beyond Earth. The third mission reached roughly 98,000 feet and tested an autonomous paraglider recovery system, designed to guide the payload safely to a targeted landing zone rather than drift randomly with the wind. Both launches were cleared with the FAA, with coordination from local air traffic controllers. Together they demonstrate FAU students' growing capability in building and testing technology that supports space agriculture and autonomous flight recovery.
