Hello Landon! Thanks for posting this. I am an engineer so I probably could have figured this out on my own but to be honest, I didn't want to. You saved me so much time googling and (most likely) some costly trial and error (losing my payload in the North Atlantic in January, getting in trouble with the FAA, running out of batteries, etc.). I'm building this up with my 6 year old as part of my "what the heck do I do to educate my child during COVID" plan. Thanks for the calculators, the instructions, and the inspiration.
Congratulations guys ! That was a great job ! That's impressive from students. I didn't know how hard you worked for this launch until this video ! I hope this will inspire many other students to follow your example, to prepare their flights very carefully, and to go further into understanding balloon flights. Thank you all !
Fanny Tremblay exactly fake video and if you look at other videos of earth they all have different views of how round the earth is. Super strange if you ask me.
The gopros create quite a bit of heat themselves, so they did quite well in the cold. I also thought that the cold would be a problem, but actually it turned out that when I insulated the gopros, they got overheated! Also they are in the extreme cold only about 10-20 minutes, so it is not that bad.
Landon, good presentation. You have a future in broadcast journalism :) I'm actually not very far from you in Pensacola and planning my 1st launch. Question: You said the SPOT gen 3 will track up to 120,000 ft. I read it stops around 60,000 ft and then starts again during the descent around 15,000 ft. Did yours track the entire flight? Thanks, Peter
Are radiosondes different from spot GPS? Should a balloon hold both of them? Why isn't a GPS enough? I saw other videos use radio beacon too! Or radiosonde
How did you rig your payload and attach it to your parachute. I'm planning a launch and I am having trouble securing the rope. Also, what rope did you use, according to FAA regulations it has to have a tensile strength less than 50IB. I can't find rope that weak.
Hi! We are about to launch a weather balloon in Finland and I have a couple of questions! Did you get the max altitude from the spot 3 gps? That is my main consern, I need the maximum altitude of the balloon! Also did you lose connect at any point? Thank you for the help! Arttu
One thing I cant find info on is how to seal off the balloon once its filled, I'm sure its something simple but before I start buying I wanna have details worked out.
GoPro in the Space it sounds super interesting, but I just bought my new 8 so I probably just want to watch it when others do. I want to try to send it up 4 - 5 meters at some point in the future (and of course have a line in it). Many thanks for an exciting channel.
“I called a local Navy base about launching a balloon with cameras and they thought I was talking about launching bombs…” Fun Fact: The military by default is going to view any such calls with a healthy amount of side eye… probably best to craft a well written / thorough letter with the exact purpose of your launch, payload details, etc, contact info, and then request a meeting with the base commander or their designated officer in charge of public relations / public affairs / air safety / etc… probably helps to talk to FAA first to make sure everything is within limits / spec and you are free of any controlled airspace otherwise it will be an uphill battle right from the jump.
I kind of want to see a balloon with a rocket attached to it so when the balloon pops the rocket takes off this might be a little optimistic but I kind of want to see a satellite orbiting the Moon like the first moon satellite built by a private person I think that would just be amazing
you should have said it was dangerous so no one would take it. You should have written that it is highly radioactive and property of the US air force and stealing would result in 20 years in jail. With the phone number. :)
Third world country was a term used to describe countries that were neutral or non-aligned to the Soviet Union after the cold war. This included countries like: Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Austria and several others. I'm assuming that this comment is referring to the United States, which was considered a first world country at the time. The word you are most likely looking for is undeveloped or developing country, which is still incorrect since the United States is considered to be one of the few developed countries in the world. Though I agree the imperial system is inferior to the metric system, at least try to get your information correct.

He's back!
Caleb Talks You know it ;)
I’m a fan of your channel celeb
@@landonimo Can I put a balloon together and just send it up no problem, or did you have to notify the air traffic controllers or anything like that?
How long did it take from launch to pop balloon to finding it? This is amazing!
I cant wait to do this!!!
Hey that's awesome.... what about transmitter and receiver details?
Amazing video!
Thanks man, I really appreciate it! 🤩
Doesn't it get cold at that altitude? Did you insulate the gopros or are they just super resistant?
Fanny Tremblay exactly fake video and if you look at other videos of earth they all have different views of how round the earth is. Super strange if you ask me.
@@chillbill8591 No one asked you though.

How cool! I can see where I was born from here! (Ft. Walton Beach!)
Great job, Landon! Thanks for posting the back-story.
Hi! Quick question, did you have any problems with the cameras at such a high altitude? Did the cold affect them in any way?
Joseph Smith Photography they won’t answere you because it’s not real.
@@chillbill8591 conspiracy theory alert
@ChillBill85
We did it, so I will answer. Ask me anything
@@chillbill8591 why don't you do it yourself?
@@chillbill8591 has you even seen the launch Video you stupid fuck?
Oh my gosh he’s back
How did you tie off your balloon? PVC pipe and zips ties or just tie it with string and tape after filling with helium?
Are radiosondes different from spot GPS?
Should a balloon hold both of them?
Why isn't a GPS enough?
I saw other videos use radio beacon too! Or radiosonde
Hey, just wondering if you've released the 3D printed bracket file online?
I think he mentioned it in the video, but I don't see this in the links
We need another video.... Let’s see how high we can go

Seems like fishing line would work, I was looking into the same thing
How did you tie the parachute to the balloon?
Pretty awesome ie always wanted to do this
How do you get your camera back
Gps tracker
YOU WERE AT STEM CAMP A FEW YEARS BACK
Haha yeah what's up! 😎
@@landonimo Nothing much, How are you? How did your house hold up after michael?
Hi!
We are about to launch a weather balloon in Finland and I have a couple of questions!
Did you get the max altitude from the spot 3 gps?
That is my main consern, I need the maximum altitude of the balloon!
Also did you lose connect at any point?
Thank you for the help!
Arttu
Hey
It's been 6 months! What's about your weather balloon?
Thank you
Hello!
We sent it, worked out great!
Here is the complete video of that: th-cam.com/video/1i6pjdhiLAI/w-d-xo.html
@@arttuhannula9684 Bro, Thats super cool
can you do this during a solar eclipse??
what is that positive lift in balloon calculator??
great project!
Planning to launch a weather balloon. Will the Neo-6m Gps module with an onboard 4G router do the job?
No
Hi! I have a doubt: can I send any cameras instead of GoPros?
Yes lol
Thanks alot for sharing 😇
This really will save me a lot of researchs and googling 😅
So nice this video! Have you ever thought about sending the GoPro without the fisheye effect? It would be nice!
Thank you so much for this video 😃
One thing I cant find info on is how to seal off the balloon once its filled, I'm sure its something simple but before I start buying I wanna have details worked out.
how much did it cost ?

Excellent follow up video. You covered literally every question I had after watching the original video.
Great video, Great Job

Holee.... a wild upload appears
Yo! Sick video!
bruh lol... Landon if you see this, pin this comment lmaooooo
ça donne envie d'essayer!
Merci pour le partage
this Video is fvcking underrated
wow haha. wondering if i should try this rn
I kind of want to see a balloon with a rocket attached to it so when the balloon pops the rocket takes off this might be a little optimistic but I kind of want to see a satellite orbiting the Moon like the first moon satellite built by a private person I think that would just be amazing
You have no idea how badly I want to strap a rocket to one of these... 🤩
Muito bom parabéns...SHOW
Where are future
Fantástico!
Wow
I wonder if I can send my anime body pillow to space.
False, not in space, karman line 100km. The only way to go in space is by nuclear missile or space craft or V2 missile.
Next Video: How to find the GoPro again.
oof not even 1k likes on this video but the other one as 100k
Show this to your flat earth friend
I like seeing a GoPro defying gravity with spectere by alan walker playing.

you should have said it was dangerous so no one would take it. You should have written that it is highly radioactive and property of the US air force and stealing would result in 20 years in jail. With the phone number. :)
Better Idea... How do : Send Trump to Moon 😂🚀>>>🌌
what you mean is" How to send the Lib-A -Tards to the moon on a one way ticket "....That works for me !
Everyone says three two one peace

You know you're living in a third world country when you're still using imperial units. For engineering. Christ.

This included countries like: Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Austria and several others. I'm assuming that this comment is referring to the United States, which was considered a first world country at the time.
