2009 Balloon Workshop at Taylor University
Faculty from around the Commonwealth were busy this summer! John Helferty from Temple University, Bruce Kothman from University of Pennsylvania, Wookwon Lee from Gannon University and Albert Lozano-Nieto from Penn State University at Wilkes-Barre all attended the 2009 Balloon Workshop at Taylor University. They were introduced to high-altitude ballooning, different payload projects, near-space environments, and FAA Rules. They built their own payloads and conducted a launch of their own! The space grant looks forward to seeing them implement ballooning programs at their respective universities and is happy to support their efforts.
