Adafruit746 Ultimate GPS Breakout - 66 channel w/10 Hz updates - Version 3

Q: Is this suitable for Arduino Mega?

Yes. There is an excellent tutorial on using it at adafruit.com where they use one on an Arduino Uno, but it will also work just as well on a mega.

Q: I am new to the raspberry I, can place this on a drone and use it to track the drone, how do I connect it to the raspberry pi?

There are guides online for wiring this module to raspberry PI. Beginner level soldering skills required if you plan to use it on a drone. On the Pi you can query longitude and latitude coordinates via command line. So yes, you can mount this and the PI to a drone and start gathering location data.

Q: Is this suitable for weather balloons

I believe it is suitable for weather ballon use as it is very sensitive to altitude in addition to GPS functions. I have one of these modules and I noted that it could easily detect the change in altitude between the ground and first floors of our house. Paul McWhorter of http://www.toptechboy.com I think has used the Adafruit module in his ballooning activities and has an Arduino lesson number 23 video titled Arduino GPS with Data Logger. Hope this helps
