New type of weather radiosonde can find its way back

Some 80% of weather radiosondes – remote measurement instruments containing plastic, batteries and electronic parts – end up lost in nature after one flight. But a startup created by a microengineering master’s student is set to change that with a new, ultra-lightweight “glidersonde” that can automatically return to where it was launched.
