@vupilot I was in contact with the local FAA office during the launch. Also they do not need to be less than 4 pounds. The relevant part of FAA Part 101 reads:
"...carries a payload package that weighs more than four pounds *and* has a weight/size ratio of more than three ounces per square inch on any surface of the package, determined by dividing the total weight in ounces of the payload package by the area in square inches of its smallest surface;"
My weight/size ratio was well under that.

That container looked rather large. Remember, these things share the sky with aircraft and must be less than 4 pounds per FAA regulations, that way they are theoretically no more harmful to aircraft than a large bird. You dont want to be responsible for an aircraft accident.

What a coincidence. I was watching some weather balloon videos, and then I watch this one, and I find out that it was launched from just 10 miles from my house! I live near Edwardsville, IL, which is about 15 miles from Highland.

Any idea of when ENSURE-2 will be ready for launch? Have you recovered ENSURE-1 yet?
