Saturday is NOT looking good!

We are NOT looking good for Saturday's launch from Sandy Creek Park @ 10AM. Right now our predictions have the balloon landing very close to the Savannah River, about 2.5 hours after the launch! The cameras and GPS tracker are waterproof, and the bamboo frame should give us some flotation (just in case...) We have received FAA clearance and will be coordinating with the air traffic controllers for our zone.

Here's a link to one of the sites used to make the predictions: http://weather.uwyo.edu/polar/balloon_traj.html

Selecting "GoogleEarth KML" as the output allows you to view the predicted flight path as a 3D Google Earth file. You can download Google Earth for free: http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/
