1. The weather balloon will reach a height greater than 100,000 ft.
Actual 27,042 m ( 88,719 feet ), (16.8 m)
Difference 2958 m, (9706 ft), (-1.8 mi)
2. a. We will be able to determine a relationships between altitude and temperature.
2. b. We will be able to determine relationships between altitude and humidity.
2. c. We will be able to determine relationships between altitude and time.
2. d. We will be able to determine relationships between altitude and wind speed.
2. e. We will be able to determine relationships between humidity and temperature.
Capture images of the Earth from high altitudes.
We have video from two GOPRO's and another video camera during the flight.
Measure radiation levels in space.
The LabQuest Radiation detector did not record the data. It may have been set with an incorrect sampling rate.
Track and retrieve the payload.
The tracking device worked perfectly and the payload was recovered.
3. Determine the rate of expansion of a marshmallow and a Twinkie at high altitudes.
