| One of the most popular events
at the last CPSWS was the balloon launch at the conference center (it even
made the front page of the Lincoln paper the next day!). We will
once again have a balloon launch, track it by computers inside the conference
center.
Mark Conner, who will direct the balloon launch, will also show some video taken from previous balloon trajectories over the midwest. |
