After all the work in researching, designing, constructing, and launching SpaceCat-1 ... it seemed a waste not to publish all of the information that we gathered.  We drew heavily on the work of so many other amateur balloon groups who have learned through trial and error.  Hopefully our data will help in turn others in the future.  Together we'll conquer near space!

Stay tuned for SpaceCat-2!  Design work begins this Spring . . .

I thoroughly enjoyed the Tracking experience and was thrilled to morph into the Chase mode as the balloon stopped 32 miles north of the Tracking headquarters (our house). Found the payload "exactly" where the mapping indicated, but high up in a tree. Looking forward to getting it down!
