Romanian stratospheric baloon flight

Yesterday 27.05.2014 at Targu Mures, Romania, we launched a stratospheric baloon for scientific experiments. This is the first launch in a series that we hope to be very long and fruitful.
The launch was made from a fiel near by Targu Mures, more precisely from Hodosa - Damieni field.
In a few words, the baloon was a simple 2m diameter latex one, filled with hellium, and the packege contained an APRS radio with simple telemetry, a GPS, an internal thermometer and one cosmic radiation detector wich will be analised in Switzerland in the following weeks.
At 10:40 AM the baloon was left to go, and climbed over 21.000m were it exploded. The package was recovered around 15:00 PM near Teaca village.
The APRS radio had the YO6KBM-11 indicator and the flight path can be seen here.

The launch was initiated by Universitatea Cultural Stiintifica.

Also a short film with the most important moments can be seen on Youtube.
