Week 11: HABL Balloon Launch

 Week 9: Balloon Mapping Part I

Figure 9-1. Initial Camera rig design.

Figure 9-2. A 50ft mark in the string.

Figure 9-3. Us filling up the balloon with helium. The tube runs from the tank to the balloon.

Figure 9-4. The balloon with all attachments. The white container houses the camera, the blue unit is a Garmin eTrex GPS, and that's me in the hat and black jacket holding the string reel.

Figure 9-5. The path us and our balloon took around campus. Note: There have been major changes to campus and the building we seemingly walk through is no longer there. I was unable to find a recently updated aerial image of UWEC.

Figure 9-13. The balloon being reeled in and the rig being completely upside down.

Figure 9-14. The black tape signifying that 400ft of string had been released.

Figure 9-15. The balloon flying away after detaching from the string.

Figure 9-16. Mosaicked images in ArcMap. One can see the distortion at the edges of the images fairly easily, especially the buildings.
