[NearSpace]

I've launchd 77 balloons since 1996.

On occasion I've lost a near spacecraft. Fortunately I retrieved thewm all but one. Somewhere in the deserts of Idaho is a near spacecraft. If we can't get it back, it can be a big lose of money.

We'll go to great lengths of hiking and driving to get this stuff back.

Upwards and Onwards,

Paul

at 3:08 in the video it says the balloon burst at 88,500 feet.

then from 6:23 - 6:46 in the video, you can see some graphs of the data.

How high did this one go?

[NearSpace01]

How much balloons have you launched?

[NearSpace01]

I have launched about 3 balloons this year, we are planning for more

although you use telemetry and tracking..what if it goes somewhere unretrievable..such as tall trees somewhere or in a lake? just wondering..im a rocket hobbyist but im really interested in launching a balloon someday.

thx for the data too, that was interesting how the temp starts to climb again up from 5000O feet. and also how the air pressure effects the speed of climb/fall

Interesting piece of video
