Changes

Balloon payloads are launched with state-of-the-art equipment constantly re-envisioned by the team. Recent additions include altitude control mechanics for latex balloons, including a gas venting valve and ballast dispenser, as well as a custom flight control system, two-way satellite communications, an intelligent altitude control algorithm, and more.  The goal of the team is to push the bounds on its current latex balloon flight hardware, both in terms of flight time and flight distance.
