Weather Balloon Launch

[@Errcyco]

This stuff is so neat. The radiosonde hardware is really interesting, I learned here they are also transmitting GPS data which is even neater. Bigger then I imagined them to be as well.

[@dustoff499]

Just recovered a Nebraska launched Radiosonde. To track and recover these Sonde's (good for the environment) can be as fun as the launch.

[@KenKuhl]

great job ladies. interesting info, thx.

[@kalayaskitchen]

Launch before lunch how are the new NOAA's GRAW radiosondes doing ?? We've used them in asia they are easy to fly and use, very reliable soundings

[@dougsfoliveira]

Great guys!! Tks a lot

[@ggboyden]

Nice video. Bianca looks like a fun person to work with. Gets bored, goes launch a balloon.

[@dsccs9211]

Cool video... very interesting.

[@kareemsalessi]

Excellent launch. Do you know total weight of your balloon & the attachments, and how far up it went? thanks. K.S.

[@gaborm4767]

the burst altitude is around 30km

[@kareemsalessi]

@@gaborm4767 Timely Reply, thanks. !!!! Anyhow, 30km==100,000 feet. & how do you know that altitude?? With a recovered altimeter, or just a wild guess???

@@gaborm4767 awesome chart, thank you. any idea first 100 meter of launch took how many seconds???

[@kareemsalessi]

@@gaborm4767 Question::: What are nozzle-lift, and gross-lift ???

[@blissparkresort]

Nice one. Will share with my boys.

[@FoHsi]

What is the application name? Radiosonde model? Works with specified radiosonde? Thanks.

[@kkmgeo]

so nice

[@Halfabajablast2]

Damn Bianca

[@bobbyarmstrong3]

How do y'all get it back, how far does it usually land from the office?

[@182QKFTW]

They do not try to recover them. However, there is prepaid (edit)*postage* to send it back if you find one. They will refurbish if able and reuse it

[@nativetexan9776]

What happens if it lands in a busy highway, on someone's vehicle windshield and everything goes wrong?

[@JohnyDays69]

That why u need to buy life insurance...!

[@Meighouighn]

I once was able to see that when I went there

[@tsmmaxgaming972]

I have a vaisala ballon

[@parveenshahpuria7112]

Hlw ma'am.. Nice to see ur video, it is very informative.... I have question ma'am 1 . After how much heights the bloon will not work? 2. After a taking all the information, what will happen with bloon and it's instrument.? Is it lost in space or we can refind it?

[@vickiespears7564]

And do you recover the balloons after they've drifted back to land? Or do they pollute our waterways, the ocean, and kill wildlife?

[@michaelcline8835]

It all falls back down with the radiosonde if you hadn't noticed it all tied together. Simply paying attention to the details of the video would have resulted in your lack of leaving such a presumptuous, snarky comment. Go hug a tree you narrow minded fool.

[@ZvendZved]

Yes hopefully it will tear the face off a Koala on the way down.

[@naveenkumarmv2906]

I find one it looks like it

[@HaykMartirosyan]

Hydrogen or Helium?

[@andrewstollmeyer43]

Hydrogen. It is almost as lite as helium, and helium is very expensive in comparison. For amateur launches we use helium, but when you launch everyday it is better to use hydrogen (even if it is super explosive).

[@HaykMartirosyan]

@@andrewstollmeyer43 Agree! Thanks for replying! We're facing the same, paying too much for helium, and planning to move to hydrogen. As you said even if it is explosive...

[@nativetexan9776]

Noone wants to waste helium. Without it we can't imitate chipmunks.

[@tsmmaxgaming972]

I find a vaisala ballon

[@alli7556]

وش

[@naveenkumarmv2906]

I find it in india
