Hannah Science Project
Hannah’s science project is to launch a balloon and see how high it goes.
It’s T minus 14 hours to the Balloon Launch. 122cuFT of industrial helium costs 75 bucks these days.. But I guess I should be glad it was available.. the guy said he has not been able to get any lately. She is going to be attaching her cell phone to the balloon and using an android application ( spacetracker ) to track its location and altitude, and take pictures along the way. The only risk is if it lands in a area with no cell service, it’s pretty much gone. But she will still have the data of its height, speed and location sent back to my phone while it is in the service area.
Wish her luck! We will report back here with the results!
