Sending balloons to the edge of space to see what we can see! The excitement of the project from start to finish was an experience like no other.
Back in September of 2014, we sent a balloon to the edge of space for the first time and retrieved the video of the entire journey. We couldn't do it just once, and we don't plan to stop anytime soon. Join us as we constantly strive to achieve results in accurate landings and high quality video by sending cameras to the edge of space. We aim to upgrade more and more with each mission and have plans for some very exciting things in the future!
Faulty balloon. Launch scrubbed.
FAA notified, ATC towers notified, NOTAMs filed, flight plan finalized. Let's go to space!
The launch today will be happening at Halpatiokee park at the soccer field in the front. We will be there around noon with a liftoff at 1:10 if anyone cares to come join us. Looking forward to a great day of incredible videos and pictures from all around the country!
We are just about all set for tomorrow. Sending it up with the two cameras we usually go with, forecast was just a bit too unfavorable to risk sending my still shot camera. One of the cameras will have a solar filter while the other will not so we'll see what kind of video we end up with. There are a lot of people all around the country that will be sending up balloons so it should be an amazing day all around. We'll update again in the morning with the final flight details and hope everyone has a great eclipse viewing experience!!
Well, the forecasting is not at all favorable for a launch but its still workable. Here's to hoping.
In the process right now of trying to get together some still shot cameras for the eclipse. Please stand by.
Not all members of the team are going to be able to launch this weekend. Hoping for the 24th.
May is finally coming to an end which means only two weekends left until we can start looking toward the skies again. June 17th is the next available date to launch so stay tuned.
Still watching. Still waiting.
Tomorrow is a no go as well. Next available day to launch is the 16th.

This is why we really can't plan these more then a week out. Saturday is now a complete no-go due to a big shift in the winds. Sunday is looking a bit better if this manages to make its way through faster then its supposed to, but its not looking good.
