• The balloon was launched from the Strategic Air and Space Museum with the help of Michael Sibbernsen, the Science and Technology Coordinator for the facility.

• The balloon traveled to 98,000 feet (18.5 miles!) before bursting. The payload landed 3 miles west of Nebraska City, just north of Highway 2.

• All of the experiments were recovered, and data is now being studied.

Following slides show a few of the
