Abstract
In this work, we discuss the effort of King Fahd University of Petroleum KFUPM undergraduate students to design a Balloon CubeSat and fly it to an altitude of about 30km. This approach allows enhancing the payload through several launching attempts at a relatively low cost. The KFUPM balloon CubeSat is the first stage in a multi-year program to enable undergraduate students to design and test a CubeSat platform and eventually launch to Earth orbit.
