This year's flights will explore long duration flights including trans-Atlantic and cross country efforts. I plan to use both latex and polyethylene zero pressure balloons and will most likely float between 60k and 100k feet....look for some simplex and cross-band repeater payloads that will stay up all weekend long for some great balloon band openings over multi-state regions.
