To The Edge of Space! 2010 is the 200 th Anniversary of the creation of the South Texas Balloon Launch Team The goal in 1810 was to create giant balloons to travel to the moon.

How We Inflate Balloons

An Early Payload

How we launch them

How we track them

How we get them down

But Seriously… 2010 is the 20 th Anniversary of the flight of BLT-1 from Huntsville, Texas Our goal has been to fly interesting, useful and fun amateur-radio payloads to the Edge of Space In 2010 we flew BLT-26 from the Wharton Intergalactic Spaceport
