BARREL - McMurdo 2010. Sunday, December 12, 2010. 2nd Launch Attempt Scheduled. Surface weather seems better for tomorrow, so we're going to try for a launch then! Currently it's scheduled for 10:30am on Tuesday, December 14, 2010 local time, but it could be slightly earlier or later than that by an hour or two, depending on what we think the weather is doing. (That's 4:30pm EST on Monday, December 13, 2010.). Here are some photos from today's "practice" run:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

BARREL - McMurdo 2010: Launching Again (Maybe!)
http://2010mcmurdo.blogspot.com/2010/12/launching-again-maybe.html
BARREL - McMurdo 2010. Friday, December 17, 2010. Robyn and I are going to be attempting, with the help of the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility team, another launch in 8-11 hours from now! There's a narrow window of good surface weather that would allow us to launch, and so we're going to go for it! FYI, as of the posting of this entry, the payload is exactly 885.4 miles due north of McMurdo Station! It's at 101,000 feet altitude too. 2010-12-18 at 12:05am (NZDT).

BARREL - McMurdo 2010: We're Over Land!
http://2010mcmurdo.blogspot.com/2010/12/were-over-land.html
BARREL - McMurdo 2010. Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Our Payload is over land! We've seen some of the solar panel temperatures rise, which as I explained yesterday, is to be expected. And so far, everything is working fine! Our Payload is at:. 108,005 Feet Altitude. It's now been just over 48 hours that our payload has been up, and it seems to be quite healthy! That is, the balloon is keeping a consistent altitude and the payload is fully functional! These are very good things! Video of our first launch.

BARREL - McMurdo 2010: Snow Storm Drifts
http://2010mcmurdo.blogspot.com/2010/12/snow-storm-drifts.html
BARREL - McMurdo 2010. Monday, December 6, 2010. After a roughly 96 hour storm, large drifts of over 7 feet had amassed just outside of the big hanger building in which we have prepared the BARREL payloads for launch. You may want to click on the photos, to open a higher resolution version of the photo. Enjoy! This photo was taken just as the storm was reaching our site. I could barely get out the door to take the photo, the winds were so strong! The snow drift is higher than either Robyn or myself!

It was right on the square in Christchurch, NZ, and the weather was gorgeous. Too bad I didn't get stuck there. The best part about it was the windows! Wednesday, November 24, 2010.
