balloon launch

Cool dude photographer Stephen Allinger is behind the lens in capturing a super neat opportunity to launch a weather balloon.
Weather people will have to confirm this, but I believe this is the impetus behind the launches: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/weather-balloon/integrated-global-radiosonde-archive

It was a beautiful day to fill a giant balloon with helium and release it into the atmosphere.

Numbers:
The balloon is 600 grams.
My launch reached a termination pressure of 9.6 hectopascals.





Seattle Crew - I miss you!






That was so cool!

Still cool!
