Chennai-based startup Aerolaunch India sent a miniature car bonnet wrapped in CarzSpa's protective film up to 21 km on a high-altitude balloon. The launch from Cuddalore on November 1 marked CarzSpa's 20th anniversary.

Over the two-hour flight, the bonnet faced temperatures down to minus 50 degrees Celsius and intense UV, but CarzSpa said its Aegis XG film showed no visible change afterwards.

The payload was recovered after landing about 30 km from the launch site. Aerolaunch, founded in 2021, says its platform can fly as high as 35 km.
