So I sent this balloon into Space...

In April 2011, some co-workers and I competed in an annual work talent night by designing, building and flying a high-altitude balloon experiment into the stratosphere over Nashville. The payload was 3 cameras, a custom made Arduino powered flight computer and 2 different types of tracking devices. I will go in depth on how to replicate this experiment and highlight some of the most interesting moments (video/photo), as well as pitfalls and gotchas that we experienced.
