ATAIN Conference Balloon launch

Today is the ATAIN (don't ask me what it means) Conference and I (and my engineering friends) are launching our sensors to 90,000 feet. Hopefully I will be able to go on the chase to get the payload back, but we will see. The launch is happening at 4:30 today and the balloons are going to go straight into the jet-stream... probably going to travel about 150 miles before coming down; meaning a chase is going to take a heck of a lot of time.

After the launch I will try and get some pictures up.
