One component of this project is development of a Hydro-meteorological data sharing information system called PIFMIS. Main theme of PIFMIS aka knowledge platform is Hydro-meteorological data entry, analysis, and display of flood related information in a user-friendly way.
The researchers on the Red Bull Stratos project say it has already provided invaluable data for the development of high-performance, high-altitude parachute systems, and that the lessons learned will inform the development of new ideas for emergency evacuation from vehicles, such as spacecraft, passing through the stratosphere.
