Posted on: Mon May 25, 2009 12:52 pm Monroe,
Any videos available yet? Congrats again on your attempt, someone nailed it on the Google Group: "You have succeed in performing an experiment. Experiments are about trial and error. Just because you did not achieve your expected results does not mean that you have no results " Well said that man!!

Posted on: Fri Jun 05, 2009 2:48 am The 600g balloon could lift about 5 lbs. Our payload weight was 250g+ parachute and reflector. so it climbed well!
Yes we have some data I will post on the blog. The pressure sensor gave an altitude of 35,000ft before the sonde failed. There is also temp. presure and humidity data to that altitude. It was interesting how cold it got at only 35,000 ft. Monroe I did notice the data we got made a bigger impression on me than I expected! It's all different when it's your data. _________________ Today's the day! We go into Space! |
