The stratosphere capsule was created in connection with a workshop in which the goal was to launch a weather balloon into the stratosphere. For this purpose, the capsule is equipped with two cameras and a GPS sensor. During the flight, the capsule is attached to a helium-filled weather balloon. To enable video recordings during the flight phase, the capsule is stabilized with the help of the stabilizers. Since the recordings of the stratospheric flight are used for advertising purposes of the Technical University of Regensburg, the capsule has to symbolize the theme "High Tech". For this reason, the shape is derived from various shapes from science fiction movies. The yellow signal color simplifies the search for the capsule when the flight is finished.
