Modeling, Altitude Control, and Trajectory Planning of a Weather Balloon Subject to Wind Disturbances by Bruno Cândido, Catarina Rodrigues, Alexandra Moutinho, José Raul Azinheira

“…This article presents a novel, efficient, lightweight, and cost-effective framework for weather balloon control and path planning. The proposed solution integrates a P-D cascade controller for altitude control, adapted specifically to the dynamics and actuation constraints of weather balloons, with a wind-based trajectory planner built on the A* algorithm. …”
