what sort of vesicle could carry the air-scooping devise? explain?

High altitude rocket/plane etc, although you would have to be careful to ensure the sample wasn't contaminated by exhaust from an engine.

I wonder if a small parachute dropped from a satellite would work? Obviously, the speed of the "parachute" would have to be reduced to bring it out of orbit. Perhaps launching the device towards the Earth would be sufficient for the parachute's perihelion to be close enough to the Earth to induce rapid orbital decay, through drag with the atmosphere.

Cost of launching into space is based on mass. Can't see a "empty box" a parachute, and a tiny bit of electronics as weighing that much. Think it was estimated to be about $260/kg to lift something in the space shuttle (although these figures did go up)  If it's light enough it isn't that pricey!  Recovery needn't be a problem either, the US figured out how to catch film canisters dropped from spy satellites. With a homing beacon it's not likely to get lost.


Small solar powered plane/mini airship? Probably pricey as a one off, but may be cheaper in the long term, due to possibility of reuse. Plus they could be instructed to sample/land where you wanted it to (unlike balloons which go where the wind takes them)

OK the Genesis program had some problems!

Your spelling needs some work.  "Vesicle" is a biological term that has several meanings in cell anatomy, dermatology, and reproductive morphology.

I think you mean "vehicle."  The ozone layer is between about 30,000 feet and about 150,000 feet above sea level.  The strata ranging up to about 60,000 feet are readily accessible to ordinary jet airplanes, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration routinely collects air samples from those layers.  The higher levels can be accessed by sounding balloons or special high-altitude research airplanes.  Some of the latter can easily reach 150,000 feet.

By the way, "devise" is a verb form.  I think you mean "device."  Spend some time on it.  Good spelling is essential to your success.

Good luck.

Dropping a sampling device from a satellite would not be a workable idea.  Too costly; too hard to control; too much risk of not being able to recover; just too much hardware.

Sounding rockets are rarely used nowadays because they are excessively expensive.
