SSI-23 was the first launch for everyone on the team and surprisingly, nothing failed.  
+
SSI-23 Gemini was the 22nd launch of SSI Balloons and the first launch for the inexperienced all-freshman team. It was a complete success, querying kinetic and atmospheric data, logging data, powering heaters, never using them because of internal insulation, generating current with a solar panel, capturing beautiful shots with a camera, and dropping a paper plane at a specific altitude. It flew 155.10 kilometers over a course of 3 hours and 20 minutes, landing in a UC Berkeley research facility.

We launched from a park near 2093 San Juan Drive, Hollister, CA at 11:39AM. The conditions were not to sunny or windy, providing a great start as the balloons were picked up by the easterly drafts.
