morning lecture

This morning Professor Jim and Professor Greg gave a series of mini lectures on Payloads and flight expectations. In the lecture Professor Jim elaborated more on the flight element, and Professor Greg lectured the components of the payload. Jim shared several websites that could accurately calculate the trajectory and flight path of our balloon. EOSS provides most of the downloads for this software and it is free. Greg showed videos of different flights and wanted us to see how violently the payloads are shaken. he did this to show how important it is to build a solid payload.
