The Sheffield University Nova Balloon Lifted Solar Telescope (SunbYte) is a high-altitude balloon experiment devised and run largely by students at the University of Sheffield. Watch to find out a little more about the project, and to find out how students have been working with local school children.

Project SunbYte: Outreach

The SunbYte project aims to revolutionise solar telescope technology by creating a low cost telescope using novel manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing, Arduino controllers and Raspberry Pi computers. The Sunbyte team is made up of an interdisciplinary student group from across the University of Sheffield. Watch the students use a balloon to send their telescpoe up into the atmosphere, overcoming technical challenges along the way.
