This will just be a random assortment of data and thoughts for planning the next weather balloon launch
| 1200 gram balloon from Amazon (or this one) | We've been using 800 gram, but can't achieve 100,000 feet with that | |
| CUSF says we can achieve 110,813 feet with a 3 lb payload, or 107,290 with 4 lb. | ||
| Hand warmers, perfect size to put behind cameras | ||
| Lightdow LD6000 camera ($42 with SD card) | ||
|
Payload Mass = 1814 grams Balloon Mass = 1200 grams Target Ascent Rate = 4 m/s Burst Alt. = 32808 meters (107,638 ft) Time to Burst = 137 min Neck Lift = 2514 grams (5.5 lbs) Volume = 127.8 cubic ft (Data from habhub burst calculator) |
