Recent times has seen considerable interest in High Altitude Balloon
both in the US, Canada and our very own club.
Just last weekend, the EMDRC-HAB group successfully launched a High
Altitude Balloon and payload from Ararat. The flight reached an
altitude of some 30,000m and after maintaining flight for around 120mins
the package was recovered on a farming property near Glenpatrick, NE
from Ararat.
