Balloons Culture also emphasizes a focus on rapid turnaround. Balloons are a powerful and affordable test platform for a variety of technologies, which can be launched on a near-seconds notice. Hence, the limitation lies primarily in the speed of technology iteration and readiness for testing. A notable example of rapid turnaround is ValBal -- the time between conception of the idea and a flight to Canada was mere months. Often, tests of valve, ballast, or avionics systems occurred in intervals of mere two-three week periods. A typical balloon launch schedule features three or four launches per quarter -- an average of a launch every 2.5 to 3 weeks.
