As the next mission gets closer the team is wrapping up the vehicles. The most complex will be Away 66. It will have a video camera we can point from ground via a live feed. It also will have a ground controlled valve on the balloon. We’re also trying to get a head of the game a bit and are continuing to sew a new launch bag for this falls flights.
We’re trying to get one of our MHD units ready to fly and be firing at 90,000 feet on Away 65, but it’s going to be close. That experiment may get bumped to summer.
It’s getting down to the details: The parachutes were mounted, the balloon releases were tested and the checklist are being written.
