Abstract
:
The Heelium Project is a high-altitude ballooning experiment that was launched to measure low-frequency signals at altitudes ranging up to ten kilometers. After capturing data via the attached antennas, the data is processed through a Fourier Transform to see the amplitude differences in the relative power(dB) at different frequencies. This project provides distinct insight into a range of frequencies and their amplitudes that for the most part are unexplored, especially at this altitude.
