This video shows the flight of a high-altitude balloon that I helped launched in Sept 2017 for the Astronuts Kids Club in Newmarket Ontario. The balloon was launched from Goderich Ontario and reached a peak altitude between 117K and 118K feet. The payload was composed of a MT-1000 APRS transceiver from Byonics as the primary tracker and a SPOT Gen3 satellite locator as the backup tracker. It also included primary and secondary HD cameras mounted at right angles. The purpose of the flight was to carry kid’s DNA samples to the edge of space. The balloon landed in Lake Eric and was retrieved by local boater that volunteered to recover to payload.
