ORISON is an H2020 European-funded project created to carry out a feasibility and design study of an astronomically-oriented balloon facility that could deploy one or several small-to-medium-sized stabilized telescopes and a suite of other scientific instruments as light payloads to do state of the art research at acceptable costs. Advantages of stratospheric observations of meteors: •Closer to the source •No clouds blocking the view •More atmospheric volume available due to transparency of the stratosphere -> larger statistics. •Interplanetary dust collecting •Less Rayleigh/Mie scattering (Moon/Sun/light pollution) •Daytime observation. •Inside or underneath the event •Flexibility (new tech) •Cheaper (100 k€ vs 1 M€) •Low sky brightness •UV, Visible, IR and Radio transparent Other advantages: •Low cost of development (vs NASA and JAXA probes) •Fast development •Synergies with other scientific cases •More flexibility on location •Missions from 2 h to 100+ days
