Watch Nigeria balloon launch

My team in Nigeria is launching their first balloon this Sunday at 12pm and I’ve asked them to show it to us live.

Another way to say it… come early to the weekly science meeting and watch our electronics get to near space! We plan on watching the data as it comes over the network and see how high it gets. @kobin @Russell_Crow

There very much can be! And it’ll be after 12, so we won’t be breaking any Sunday alcohol rules

Lol the correct answer is no because we can’t consume alcohol on premises. But maybe outside of DMS :slight_smile:

Sounds like we’ll resort to sucking in Helium from the tanks that are in the back of my car then.

Personally, the chipmunk I sound most like is Alvin.

We were able to complete it this morning! We received data to 1000 feet (975mb pressure height). It can be seen on the blockchain.

It’s in the table as Launch #6 .

I read read nitrous instead of helium, and started the drive up from Austin. :slight_smile: :crazy_face:
