Filling of the 1600g Hwoyee balloon began at around 5:30 pm. Filling was coordinated in conjunction with CNSP personnel, who used their mass-flow meter to fill the balloon with the appropriate volume of Helium as calculated and verified by SSI members. Filling was challenging due to higher than expected ground wind speeds. After filling, launching was additionally challenging due to powerful east-bound winds, which pushed the balloon nearly into the ground on multiple occasions. During a moment of south-bound winds, the balloon was released from the north end of Laird Park (in order to clear the southern tree line) and ascended at a nominal velocity.
