We had some great images from this flight. The cloud cover created some interesting details.

Recovery went well. A ground landing. The SPOT satellite tracker worked beyond expectations and will be used on all future flights. For some reason the aprs tracker stopped sending altitude data above 78k feet. The flight reached an estimated 87,000 ft.  Students cut their PongSats in preparation for their launch. This is followed by the students around the inflated balloon. Then the students prep for launch.    Below students work to decode a Morris code message and search for a hidden beacon.   Today we started our elementary workshop. 9 students signed up for an intensive high altitude ballooning experience. Monday will be the Ideal Gas Law, Tuesday will be the Atmosphere, Wednesday Ham Radios, Thursday the launch, and Friday data analysis and presentation of results. Below a student presents her experimental proposal.  |
