Dear friends, BASE 31 was an exciting flight. The balloon fill under 25-30 mph winds and air temperatures of 34 degrees Fahrenheit kept our heart pumping even...

Dear Mike, The foam core box was manufactured by StratoStar. I have flown several of their boxes including our primary 900 MHz spread spectrum flight...
Since it seems your GPS payload broke free from the flight string shortly after burst, then it most likely tumbled such that the GPS antenna never got a long...
Mike, Just to clarify, Ron's unit, N9QGS-11, stayed in the flight string. Our unit, W9YJ-11, was flying lower on the string and was the only one to fall...
We returned to the vicinity of the last signal from the W9YJ-11 pod this afternoon and retrieved the pod in 10 minutes. The final landing spot was 200 yards...

Ralph, Post my prediction if you choose, but due to erronious data provided to me to make the landing prediction it was way off. I'll probly not try to predict...
Hi Harry, Perhaps Rick can help with these. The ascent and decent rate should be a function of the balloon fill and knowing what the weights are. EOSS shoots...
Hey Marty, This flight was an OSU flight and I was not at the launch. I have an idea what they plan for lift, but that is subject to change without me knowing ...
Thanks Harry, I'm sure you will work it out with these guys. When they pop a few balloons on the ground, and pay for it, they will pay attention. Nice to ...
GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE to you too Marty and ALL the balloonatics around the world. There is much to give thanks for! 73 all! Harry ... Harry Mueller - KC5TRB -...

Hi Bruce, We've had some luck using a window made from clear mylar sheet over the view port, coated with windshield-grade RainX. A handy source of clear mylar...
We (ANSR) are working on the final assembly of our zero pressure balloon project. One of the requirements is for a ballast pump that is capable pumping...
I recommend not using windows. I've not had a problem with cameras whose lens is exposed to near space. The rest of it is stored in a Styrofoam box. Paul ......
I'd second that. The only times we've had icing problems is when we tried using windows. A bare lens never gave us problems, except for the one that landed...
