ARIA (UK's Advanced Research + Invention Agency) just launched the £50 million Enduring Atmospheric Platforms programme. We're funding teams to build low-cost stratospheric platforms that can stay aloft for a week while powering a 300W payload above the UK.
If anyone in your network is building novel vehicle architectures or enabling tech, we want to hear from you.
