Abstract
The thermal environment provided by a high-altitude balloon payload that is shielded from the thermal radiation emitted by the earth is investigated. If launched at night and to a sufficient altitude wherein radiative heat transfer determines the payload thermal environment, such a shielded payload may reach radiative equilibrium with the effective sky temperature in the nighttime stratosphere. Then, in principle, extremely low temperatures may be achieved. The objective is to analyze the feasibility of using High-Altitude Balloons for spacecraft systems testing in low pressure and low temperature environments. In this study, a heat transfer model was developed to study the thermal environment of a balloon-borne radiation shield in the stratosphere. Also, theoretical models of balloon ascent rate were developed to define optimal launch parameters. Three flight predictors were used to narrow the possible landing locations and improve the probability of successful recovery. Five experimental payloads were flown to the stratosphere and successfully recovered for data analysis. The obtained flight results appear to indicate that the expected trend of radiation cooling is observed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
