Additional X2Griffon vertical profile flights and MAD-AP mid-altitude drift missions. Dates and exact profiles will be published as weather windows and recovery logistics are confirmed.
Target: temperature / humidity / wind shear profiles. Rapid data release.
Mid-altitude long-duration float. Persistent wind and temperature sampling.
Cold-season vertical structure and stability layers. Night recovery option under evaluation.
Longer-duration mid-tropospheric sampling. Recovery planning with extended range.
Continued open-data series. Possible dual-payload or experiment ride-share slot.
Flight windows are weather-dependent. Confirmed dates and live tracking links will appear here and on the homepage as each mission approaches.
