Two Down, One to Go...

We launch the ANITA payload today in nearly perfect weather. Everything went off without a hitch after yesterday's glitches. Some of the electronics guys worked a very long and hard day to get everything working for today. Now with just one more flight to launch, hopefully the end of my Antarctic trip is coming soon. Unfortunately, the weather still looks like it will take a turn for the worse tomorrow, and it will probably be several days before we get another launch attempt. Here is a video and a couple of pictures from the launch today.

  1. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew that you guys could do it: with a few people watching over you and more than a few prayers. Now for that little testy one. I will continue to pray since we all want you home for New Years Eve as much as you would like to be here. I Love You MOM

  3. This is the last time that I am going to try to get this posted. It's not like I've not done this before. Anyhow congratulations I knew you all had to get a break soon there are too many people watching over you and praying for everythin to come together. Now for the little testy balloon. I will continue to pray hard as we would all like you here for at least New Years Eve almost as much as you want to be home. I LOVE YOU MOM
