Re: Exploding Weather Balloon

Who knew so many FRC teams flew to the edge of space! This is a great off-season activity with programming, sensors, and just a lot of fun.

We are preparing for our 24th launch since 2007 -- http://dreams2space.wikispaces.com/

In 23 flights, we have never filmed the burst -- jealous! Want to get the students to fly a camera on a servo to look up once they are over 80,000 feet determined using a pressure sensor.

Re: Exploding Weather Balloon

A few of the TORC's former Members have done this, but the team did not have a part of it.

This was the first attempt back in 2003..

Re: Exploding Weather Balloon

ALL super impressive.

I love how even though it looks like you're beyond the atmosphere there is still enough gas to fill the parachute.
