Test Balloon Launch.

I'm getting ready for a high altitude balloon launch in a few weeks to capture some images of black space, and I thought I'd do a test flight with a small 100g balloon. So on sunday I launched a small payload and was able to track it and recover it from near Nanango, after a 5 hour, 160km trip.

I filled the balloon with approximately 600L of hydrogen gas that I made at the time.

Anyway I captured some pics with a small camera that was on the payload so I thought I'd post them incase anybody was interested.

The max hight reached was around 11km.

Cheers
Jo
