Balloon Launch #2

Outreach Program:

Here is a balloon launch with smaller rubber balloon.

Instruments in for the ride were:
-A camera (it took a picture every minute of the ride).
=An ozonesonde (to measure ozone).
=A radiosonde (measure temperature and pressure and has the gps unit to track the balloon).





Here's what filling the balloon up looks like:




3....2...1... launch





Unfortunately, the balloon rose at a much slower rate than expected. We lost contact with the balloon and the gps unit battery only has about a 4 hour lifetime.
Balloon has yet to be found. Bye-bye camera, ozonesonde, and radiosonde. No camera chip found, no atmosphere pictures....sorry.
