I’ve have these three ancient CDs of pictures in the back of my desk literally from about a decade ago. They’ve been sitting because they’re photo CDs in a weird old Kodak format that nothing can read anymore. Today I tracked down the right driver on the web and extracted the pics. Some I had copies of, but most hadn’t been seen in a long time.<\/font><\/p>\n

I’ve pulled together a few of the “Rockoon”, (balloon launch rocket) flights. These are our early experiment. Most of these pictures show the various launch boxes, the container that holds and launched the rocket. Next year we’ll be lofting our fourteenth generation rocket designed for balloon launch.<\/font><\/p>\n

This was a five foot rocket. It started out well, but had a problem at ignition.<\/small><\/font><\/p>\n
