In recent years, launching and tracking High Altitude Balloons has become a relatively popular hobby activity.

Sending a package of instruments into "near space", by balloon, can be a cost effective way to test equipment and techniques that can then be applied to other space-related projects.  Below is a link to a schematic showing one HAB project currently being pursued in Manchester.

An excellent source of information is the wiki of the UK High Altitude Society http://ukhas.org.uk/
