Highlights of the 6th mission of 2007. Best high altitude pictures of any mission so far. Peak altitude 97,000 feet. Also set the record for the highest LEGO NXT in the world.

  • IT was good attempt, From where did you get this balloon.

  • The balloon is made by Kaymont. It's a weather balloon.

  • So nice, and it landed so close to the Playa.

  • We were aiming for the playa, so hitting the top of the mountain was a bummer.

  • I always wondered about balloon launches like this. How do you coordinate with air traffic? Do you put a transponder in the payload? Just curious.

  • Good job guys, good to see so many successful attempts! I launched as well Sept 5th, 2010 with success to 90k. aerialparade..com. All info located their, as well as video and pics.

  • WOW better then NASA and i bet it cost less. :)

  • Nice job! go to our profile to see STRATOS I being launched in South Florida! As you know Florida is surrounded by ocean water. It was truly a challenge. You can go to my profile or type STRATOS BALLOON on You Tube.

    Enjoy!

  • I saw the image at 2:17 on Flickr (the one of the mountains and Pyramid Lake). It's amazing!

  • Lego Professor - Doesn't the MSE 101 intro classes at UNR travel the same altitude in their balloon competitiions?

  • Sounds expensive.
