SparkFun GPS Breakout - XA1110 (Qwiic) Balloon Mode

I need some help setting up the XA1110 GPS into Balloon Mode. I see from the online tutorial that the mode can be changed if the GPS is used with an Arduino, however I am using a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and circuit/micropython. I am using this GPS on a high-altitude balloon, so I need to make sure that I am getting GPS signal above 15km. Is it possible to change the mode using circuitpython? Any help is appreciated!

I don’t think there is support for that in our Python package [https://github.com/sparkfun/Qwiic_Titan_Gps_Py] and CircuitPython is an Adafruit (different company) thing.

I think you could configure the initial batches of modules using the PMTK manuals that we list, but there doesn’t seem to be any information in the current datasheet:
