We have finally been granted permission to launch our much-anticipated weather balloon!
We have a window from 26th June – 6th July, with an eye on the weekend of either Saturday 4th or Sunday 5th July for our launch. Whichever day is chosen, the launch will be in the morning around 8:00 am from the field, and all are welcome!
We can’t be specific because it will be dependent on wind patterns and predictions for where it’ll end up (we don’t want it landing in the sea again!)
We’ve also got all the equipment sorted, including helium very kindly donated by Rory Whitehead (Xuemei’s dad) of Lascells scientific equipment and GoExploro!
More details will be communicated nearer the time, but may only be with around 3 days’ notice owing to the limitations of weather prediction.
To infinity, and beyond!
