This project aims to address critical knowledge gaps in Antarctic science by engaging Australian scientists with the Australian aerospace industry to advance world-first high altitude scientific observations from a long-range stratospheric glider. The higher sensor resolution and adaptive mission planning of the glider at 20km altitude offers dramatic benefits over existing satellite platforms. The project will develop the sensor payload of the glider, targeting research into Antarctic sea ice, atmospheric processes and seal populations. The project will build Australia’s research and innovation capacity through support for new collaboration between Australia's Antarctic scientists, geospatial specialists and remote-sensing platform developers.

该项目旨在填补南极科学方面的关键知识空白，让澳大利亚科学家参与澳大利亚航空航天工业，推动世界上第一次利用远程平流层滑翔机进行高空科学观测。滑翔机在20公里高度的更高的传感器分辨率和自适应使命规划提供了比现有卫星平台更大的优势。该项目将开发滑翔机的传感器有效载荷，目标是研究南极海冰、大气过程和海豹种群。该项目将通过支持澳大利亚南极科学家、地理空间专家和遥感平台开发商之间的新合作，建设澳大利亚的研究和创新能力。
