Great job on video. But these cameras also have audio. I would rather hear what the GoPro microphone picks up, even if it just wind, rather than music.

That beeping around 3:10 is basically what you would hear the whole time. That's the audio beacon used to help find the balloon. Trust me, it gets really annoying really quickly.

[@TheCgOrion]

I wonder how much more altitude could be achieved by fitting a pressure release valve, that slowly let excess pressure out as it got close to the balloon's limit, to keep the balloon from breaking as it got close to its otherwise max. I wonder if it would eventually find an equilibrium, and stay up for too long, and become unrecoverable, as the batteries die.

[@DiegoXCI]

Reading the description and doing some Google Mapping, I found that they launched from these coordinates (42°54'30.4"N 77°16'19.6"W). You'll see the fields, shed, and paths seen on the drone footage as the balloon goes up. Unfortunately, "over the Finger Lakes region of New York and landed southwest of Syracuse, NY" isn't specific enough, but gives us enough information to know it traveled somewhere between the range of 44-56 miles.

[@OLHZN]

Great detective work, although you could've saved the time by visiting the flight website which has the exact launch & landing coordinates as well as fight details like travel distance. 😉 This flight landed 47.81 miles downrange: overlookhorizon.com/flight-11

I’m also working on a High Altitude Ballon project and the gopros (they’re GoPro 3+) directly facing the sun shuts down by itself only 30 min into the flight.

I wonder at what altitude do "flying objects" cease to rotate with the Planet's atmosphere. We are told an airplane that has a flight pattern directed to Miami ends up in Miami rather than being required to plot a course for Houston to arrive in Miami... because the object moves with the atmosphere. So hence my question.

[@RasMerkabah]

@@davidjack7418 So it went up and came back down, BUT the Planet had rotated so it landed 47 miles away?

[@davidjack7418]

@@RasMerkabah I'm not entirely sure what you mean about the first comment regarding Miami. An airplane uses an engine and thrust to overcome gravity and atmosphere and propel itself to its destination. In the case of the balloon it is also affected by gravity and a rotating atmosphere even while aloft. The reason for its movement while midair is from wind. While atmosphere does rotate with the planet, winds and weather patterns can and do move counter to the rotation of the Earth.

Making a game where you are a weather balloon, and you need to steer your way out of objects so you don’t pop and stuff. The more levels you get the better types of balloon you get for higher altitudes. For example the default is a simple weather balloon but as you level up you unlock a zero pressure balloon, for higher altitude

It is amazing when you see the balloon at the edge of space - it is so stunning - the beauty of the earth against the darkness of space. Extraordinary images when the balloon bursts of the little bits of shredded balloon material perfectly lit up by sunlight against black space. The only 'even better if' is to please try to find alternative ways of getting them out of trees rather than cutting the tree down - I do understand it is not easy. We have to be even more careful when the leaves are on the trees: there could be birds that are nesting & we must avoid disturbing them. As a non-profit charitable organisation I am sure you will appreciate all the positive values I am suggesting here. Nevertheless, thank you: this was the first high-altitude balloon of this type I have seen on a video & it was fascinating.

Why do all balloons burst at this particular atmosphere? ☝️nobody accounts for the significant DECREASE in temperature which results in the condensing the gas in the balloon to shrink. Yet everyone claims atmospheric pressure pops the balloon.

[@sailorman8668]

Due to the decreasing air pressure as the balloon ascends, it expands in size, to the point where it reaches it's limits to expand any further without bursting. The temperature of the atmosphere has very little to do with the change in the balloon's size. If only you'd known the facts, instead of spouting your misinformation. Try harder Wade.
