Glen, Thanks for sharing the video of the recovery. I had wondered about the landing spot based on the APRS data on the internet. I still prefer tree landings to lake landings :) Hope the students have some good data. Howard

USI October 8 Tethered Test at University of Southern Indiana Quad
October 8, 2009 from 12pm to 2pm
The USI ballooning team will conduct a tethered test of its ballooning system on the USI Quad. This will give the students, all of whom are new to high altitude ballooning, a chance to work with the system without actually executing a flight.
