The balloon to be used is not a weather balloon as altitude is not the goal for this launch. In addition to testing the flight readiness of the newly installed on-board computer we will be testing the redesigned payload enclosure. Specifically, the payload enclosure has been redesigned to allow it to rotate independently from the chute and balloon. Pending testing later today of the gps unit the landing gear may or may not be removed for Flight 2.
Fridays gps testing as well as Flight 2 will be updated continuously for everyone to view. Click here to view real time gps tracking
Stay tuned for video footage
