DePauw gladly participated in the HALO project with our 18th flight (all during the last 12 months). I've posted a partial summary of our flight including a...
Holy cow! Those burst stills are fantastic! You can see the shadow of the shards on the 'unexploded' portion of the balloon. Just awesome. I have to get me...
Hi Mark, Those pix were very nice - and it's alarming how much latex was left hanging on the parachute's apex - PBC for sure! You might be interested in the...
This something I'd like to see. We could call it Field Day Super Launch. Paul With all these balloons in the air at once, perhaps we need to have an ARHAB...

Sounds great to me! How about this Saturday? Just kidding. It's just that this past Saturday was my first chance to even listen in on a balloon flight and I...
Video recordings I've made from near space flights show the sound levels gradually decreasing. At 100,000 feet it's nearly silent. The burst can be heard...
