&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The goal is to use blocks of foam as a structure for the payload. We&amp;#039;ll carve out relatively closely fitted voids to hold the various components.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shape considerations:&lt;br /&gt;
* balloon sheds turbulence during ascent; torpedo shape might be best for that&lt;br /&gt;
* APRS antenna with a 19&amp;quot; radius ground plane parallel to the ground would reduce signal energy sent upwards&lt;br /&gt;

Notes on foam:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*) Probably want XPS (eXtruded PolyStyrene). This is a water proof, dimensionally stable, grain free foam. It tolerates very low temperatures well, and doesn&amp;#039;t burn easily. &lt;br /&gt;
It cuts easily and cleanly with a sharp knife. It doesn&amp;#039;t crumble or shed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brand names are &amp;#039;Dow Hi-Load 60&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;Corning Foamular 600&amp;#039;. Foamular 250 should work just fine (the difference in the number is the compression strength). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It appears that places like Lowes carry it, and it costs ~ $15 for a 2 foot by 8 foot by 2 inch block.&lt;br /&gt;
(which is probably enough for about 70 million flights).&lt;br /&gt;
