Howdy Folks,

I’m checking back in with everyone because we’re in the home stretch of the Space Chile Project(High Altitude Balloon launch and recovery Containing the seeds for tasty tasty green chile! And cameras, and GPS….). If you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past month, please come to hacknight Tuesday so that you can get back up to speed before our first launch opportunity on Sunday, 15 July. I’d like to have all hands on deck to review the operations and checklist information so that everyone will have an idea of what will be going on next weekend. This is especially important for those who will be helping with the set up, filling, launch, chase, recovery, and documentation of the event!

There has been a LOT of work put into this project to date from Ken and the Adler team, Jeremy & J from Mach 30, and all the Quelab hands that have build our first (near)-space craft… I got goosebumps just typing that! A big THANK YOU goes out to all involved! See you Tuesday evening B-)
