Holly Hills Near Space Balloon Launch April 21, 2017

Meet our Scientists

Near space is the region of Earth's atmosphere that lies between 20 and 100 km (65,000 and 328,000 feet) above sea level, including the stratosphere, mesosphere, and the lower thermosphere.

Why will the balloon have lift?

What does buoyancy have to do with how things fly? http://howthingsfly.si.edu/gravity-air/buoyancy

Balloon - When filled with helium, the balloon provides the lift for carrying the payload up through our atmosphere. After about a two-hour journey to the edge of space, the balloon bursts. Parachute - The parachute keeps the payload from falling too fast as it re-enters our earth’s atmosphere. After about a 45-minute ride home, the parachute brings the payload in for a gentle landing. Payload - The payload houses the GPS satellite tracker, camera, and any other scientific instruments and payloads you are sending to the edge of space. The structure is a balsa wood triangle frame.

The Frame

Payload- What items have to be on the payload Payload- What items have to be on the payload?have to be on the payload? GoPro Camera Flight Computer GPS Tracker

The Micro Experiment What would you send to space? Why? What do you think would happen? If the payload is too heavy it takes longer to rise to burst level. A lighter payload will rise faster to burst level

Our Payload: What do you predict will happen? Will the results be observable? Measurable? Oobleck Bath bomb Bread dough

We can’t wait for you to join us for our launch!
