Field notes
The project divides responsibilities between engineers who design and test unmanned vehicles and meteorologists who deploy the probe and analyze data. Its stated engineering targets include radio-frequency connectivity beyond 10 kilometers in adverse weather; the site also says the team uses Embry-Riddle facilities such as a wind tunnel. A listed 2026 poster covers the broader A.E.O.L.U.S., G.L.E.N. and Home Base system, with its venue still to be announced.
