Atmosys: The Atmospheric Operating System

---

Abstract

Utilization of the upper atmosphere for research, education, and commercial endeavors continues to expand, and provides accessible and robust tools to plan and execute missions. This paper introduces Atmosys (www.atmosys.com), a new, free-to-use atmospheric operating system built to democratize high-altitude ballooning. Atmosys offers a suite of tools for flight planning and allows users to easily plan high-altitude latex balloon missions, utilize pre-set templates, and analyze multiple weather models. Designed to be intuitive and accessible, Atmosys empowers scientists, researchers, and students to interact and unlock the upper atmosphere more successfully. This paper details the architecture of the Atmosys platforms, their core functionalities, and their potential to simplify and enhance high-altitude balloon mission planning and exploration for a vast range of uncrewed aerial systems.

Keywords: balloon flight planning software, Atmospheric Operating System, High-altitude balloon trajectory prediction tool, Mission Planning
