HABL Prep tonight
Caleb and I are heading out to the desert Sunday for his 8th grade 'high altitude balloon launch'. Caleb's science class has been working on this project for the past few months. Caleb's was assigned to work on the navigation team to ensure that we can track the package after the balloon bursts at approximately 140,000 feet.
The goal of the project is to get a photo of the curvature of the earth, and then retrieve the package when it parachutes down to earth. More soon.....
