Description
The Weather Balloon Kit by Stratoflights contains everything that you need for a successful launch of a space balloon. The very lightweight polystyrene probe provides enough space to launch several cameras on their journey into the stratosphere and protect the equipment against extreme temperatures. The robust construction protects the technology during landing and the “wings” attached to the sides reduce the rotary movement for more stable pictures. In addition, there is a reliable GPS Tracker for locating and a weather balloon with the corresponding parachute. The battery pack supplies reliably the power so that the entire flight can be recorded.
The concept has been tried and tested and it is exactly this combination that, we use successfully for all of our flights up until now. A comprehensive manual will guide you step by step through the project to make your flight into the stratosphere successful.
Not included: a SIM card, camera, and helium. Helium can be obtained from your local or regional gas supplier.
