Could anyone tell me what are the name of the parts of the ArduSat satellite and how much are they ? also does anyone know a schematic for a rocket that goes at least more than 60 km so i can put the rocket on a weather ballon and then when it explodes ,i will turn on the rocket and it will get to the thermosphere and go to space.
we'll tell you when you'll have obtained all the necessary authorisations to send stuff to space
PS:
you do need a permit to launch anything into space. Governments oversee private space activity through the framework provided by the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which has been signed by 91 nations, including all the major space-faring countries
PS2: the initial mission had raised more than $100k for the project. that was years ago, so budget is more nowadays. is that what you had in mind?
Ask Mark Rober how to get there:
For the laws:
i mean the ballon is what i wanted to see but im wandering how much can it lift and is there a system that if my ballon pops my rocket will turn on it and use almost all of its fuel so it get can eject the satellite at either 50 km or 160 km.
Hi,
are you serious??????
You don't know the name of the parts of a satellite and how much it costs and you want to put a satellite in orbit?
What world are you in?
For reference: ArduSat - Wikipedia
Please don't waste precious helium
Or hydrogen ...
I'm guessing you are a kid or teen? Don't let your dreams die. But all space exploration has been a product of experimentation and teamwork. So experiment, but with something you can actually achieve. Join teams, so you can learn.

A working satellite can be built for very low cost, but that is not the problem really, its the cost of getting them up into orbit.
There is an increasing number of very small satellites called PocketQubes, being launched, but even a 1Q PocketQube (5cm x 5cm) will cost circa $25,000 to put into orbit. And a larger 1U Cubesat will cost circa $100,000 to put into orbit.
I believe you do need a permit to launch anything into space.
P'tak! The Klingon Empire was not founded on such cowardly subservience!

Even Elon has to get a permit/permission the play rockets.
@spacedude28987163 keep that idea.
Do some Googling, especially on the amateur rocket sites for information on DIY and what you can and can't do.
Without the technical backing of NASA or SPACEX or ROCKETLAB, sub orbital may be possible.
Orbital however is a different kettle of fish.
If you are keen on getting to space, Google this;
amateur sub orbital attempts
I assume you know of BPS?
Tom... 
In fairness to the OP spacedude, you would have to find out a lot of things, in order to submit a written proposal for permission to launch. So it's natural to ask the questions. It may be that there aren't enough rocket scientist here.
Don't stop dreaming big though... anything is possible.

Do some research on Rockoons;
Whilst you might construct a Rockoon to carry a 'satellite' to 'space' unless the rocket has the power to accelerate the 'satellite' to circa 25,000kmh, it wont achieve orbit ...............
Something to aim for.
bro i'm only 13 years old, i am not Elon musk.im just wandering if i can buy the ardusat for 150 dollars and also where to get it
you can't and you won't be able to launch anything to space within that budget

Costs
CubeSat forms a cost-effective independent means of getting a payload into orbit.[12] After delays from low-cost launchers such as Interorbital Systems,[69] launch prices have been about $100,000 per unit,[70][71] but newer operators are offering lower pricing.[72] A typical price to launch a 1U cubesat with a full service contract (including end-to-end integration, licensing, transportation etc.) was about $60,000 in 2021.
Some CubeSats have complicated components or instruments, such as LightSail-1, that pushes their construction cost into the millions of dollars,[73] but a basic 1U CubeSat can cost about $50,000 to construct[74] so CubeSats are a viable option for some schools and universities; as well as small businesses to develop CubeSats for commercial purposes.
