Oldie but a goodie.

The September mission has become a five vehicle campaign. The team began putting together the fifth high rack last night. There will be lots of PongSats, and I mean lots of PongSats, MiniCubes, an MHD generator, edge of space ads, balloon valving test, and did I mention lots of PongSats.

Launch from Away 37’s point of view.

We’re getting great coverage on our Kickstarter PongSat Mission. This one is from Guest of Guest blog:

Wired has run an article on PongSat and the kickstarter effort.

There are now just over 750 PongSats signed up for the September mission.  Most sign up late so there’s no telling how many there will be.

The team worked on making deck holders for the PongSats and balancing Away 68.  Most of the systems are complete for all four vehicle. It’s down to the 6000 details.

The High Racks for the September PongSat mission are coming together.
