“The platform is capable of carrying up to 100 kilograms of payload to an altitude of up to 20 kilometers,” the foundation stated in a press release.

It also detailed that the Barrazh-1 has a “pneumatic ballast system” that “modifies its flight altitude to take advantage of wind currents and move it in the appropriate direction.”

The Foundation specified that these features allow the device to “maneuver and remain in a designated area or move along the appropriate trajectory for the payload.”
