NSL-89 pico flight underway

[Paul Lowell]

Pico balloon flight was launched from Apex at 0952 today.  

I'm experimenting with a solar flight like last years ATW-1 (NSL-79)

APRS:   KD4BFP-6

The hope is that it will make its way up to Maine and then try to go out over the Atlantic.  Fingers crossed!

Sadly, it looks like the cell has ruptured.  It will probably land in the ocean off of Norfolk shortly...

Paul, what did you use for the cell?  I see that it went up slowly and came down slowly.  Maybe a slow leak?

We need to discuss details over a beer...

How filed was the cell?  When we did NSL-79 the cell was barely inflated at launch.   The cell measured something like 6' x 3' flat.  Maybe the pressure at 25k popped a small hole. 

Man you did good with 18g.  I believe NSL-79 was 23g.  I need to look back at the logs.
