1 - Pong
From High altitude
Balloon 1 "Pong" -- The John R. Hall Balloon
Launch March 30 2008. It reached 98599 feet. Tracking went well. Same day recovery failed, it landed in a cattle ranch and we could not recover it before the sun would go down. Recovered on the 3rd day.

- Postmortem -- There is some photos in here.
Here is a google earth kml file of the whole flight. Zoom in on the landing area to see where it was and where we estimated it would be. You can also see how we walked around on the 1st day and on the recovery.
A link to a APRS tracking of the flight. Zoom out for an overview.
Here is some pictures from the balloon. Unfortunately the camera only took pictures for 21 minutes. The last picture should be from around 20.000 feet.
The balloon did not take pictures that high. But I like this one.
