His first guess for cost for this project is +- 100.000 per day for one car and two - three people. Of course the price depends a lot where it land, on glacier or near some roads on the highlands.

Research and Design¶

Bogi, Örvar and Vikar made a test on the release mechanism.
The results from test:
-If it is windy the fabrics flap a lot and can damage the balloon.
-The coses did not fit together as we expected so we could not zip two fabric together.
-Have to find another way, f.x find large house and fill the balloon inside.
