RICHLAND, Wash A group of researchers gathered early Thursday morning at the REACH Museum to launch a project they’ve been working on for months a seven-foot long trackable, solar-powered, weather-transmittable balloon.
Members from the museum, local nonprofit SILAS Education and Spout Springs Repeater Association (SSRA) met just after 6 a.m. on March 11th for their second launch attempt after strong winds from the week prior forced a delay.
“This was a relief to see the perfect conditions as far as the weather goes this morning and to see that balloon sailing off into the sky,” said Pauline Schafer, the museum’s education manager.
