Very cool and wishing you all the best of luck.
One question that came to mind, and this applies to all weather baloons not yours specifically, with the large number of weather balloons launched daily, how is it That more aren’t sucked into airplane engines causing potential disaster for the airplane? Thanks
Weather balloons (ours included) are pretty small and don't spend much time at the altitudes where planes are. And in the very, very unlikely case a plane were to hit one, our payload is less than 250g (about the mass of a pigeon).
