SSI-22 was the 22nd launch of SSI Balloons. Flying for a over 23 hours through 5 US states and southern Canada, it was SSI Balloons' first international flight. The launch was a phenomenal demonstration of the ValBal technology that had been in development for months within SSI. The payload maintained altitude within 12km and 14km as per pre-programmed instructions, and managed to do so autonomosuly - not to mention maintain this altitude in the midst of a thunderstorm without a hitch. SSI-22 landed in Saskatchewan after an approximately 24 hr flight.
