Balloon Launch-PBH3
PBH3 - Project Blue Horizon - Launch News
Project Blue Horizon (PBH) is a capstone project that Cornell University
graduate students take part in to fulfill requirements for earning their
Masters in Engineering degree. PBH is currently structured as a five-year
incremental project that will challenge each year’s design team to plan,
prepare, and conduct multiple amateur radio high altitude balloon flights.
Since 2007, engineers participating in PBH have successfully launched
seven flights of high altitude balloons, reaching altitudes from 60,000 to
more than 125,000 feet. This project has sparked my always increasing
interest in amateur radio tracking since I first learn of the project.
If all goes as planned this week their mission will start with a
balloon launch from Owego, NY, USA. Time of this bulletin team was
checking weather data to determine launch window.
Team mission statement: "Our mission is to rise above, take amateur ballooning to new heights, innovate, and learn."
