First Valve Mission
November 28th, 2013First balloon valve mission. The valve is used to control the ascent rate and to hold the balloon at the destination altitude. We’ve done two valve flights so far. Next year we’re planning at least two more.
This is a closeup of the valve from Away 71, our second balloon valve mission.
