We did one in 2012 into the path of totality of the total solar eclipse.

Due to the time sensitive nature of the launch, we had three teams operating.

1. Compliance and permission - negotiation and applications to CASA and Air Safety Australia. This was quite a lot of work. The CASA website has downloadable regulations with a whole section on balloons.

2. Launch team - configured the instruments and launched.

3. Tracking team - ham radio enthusiasts who used HF to track the radio beacon we had on board. .

Read the CaSA regs and then post your Q's here.
