Nebraska Stratospheric Amateur Radio Balloon Launch and Tracking

 

 Our flight went extremely well and we recovered the payloads about 5 mi south of Elliot, IA. They landed just on the far side of the fence next to the road, so it was an extremely easy recovery. The airborne photo attached is from just before our peak altitude of about 93,000 ft. The other was taken by Lowell Abarr of the payload just before touchdown. A map of the trajectory is included below here.
