SunbYte
SunbYte (Sheffield University Nova Balloon Telescope) is a University of Sheffield student team developing balloon-borne solar instrumentation. Its successive projects combine optics, mechanical structures, electronics, software and outreach. SunbYte V began in 2024 with a modular payload design intended to carry multiple instruments, including an imager and spectrograph. In November 2025 the team presented its proposed high-altitude balloon instrumentation at ESA’s BEXUS workshop in Noordwijk alongside collaborators from Monash High Altitude Balloon in Australia.
