High-altitude balloon project

In late 2010, I decided I wanted to try the same thing I’d seen many times before online: launch a weather balloon, take high-altitude pictures, and retrieve those pictures.  With the help of Marc, I did just that one Saturday…

The tracking devices used didn’t quite work as planned, but it was a success nonetheless.  I plan to retry again in the future with more equipment, and with hopefully better results.
