Registration on luma.com
Originally organized by Ellie Yoon. We're launching a weather balloon and talking about the weather (standard WindBorne fare) on November 20. Help us build a planetary nervous system / witness the release of a WindBorne Global Sounding Balloon (GSB) which weighs ~2.5 lbs, remains aloft for an average of 21 days, collects 30-50x more data than a traditional radiosonde, and can circle the entire planet multiple times! About WindBorne WindBorne Systems is a weather intelligence company that designs, manufactures, and operates the world's only constellation of smart, long-duration weather balloons. Along the way, their balloons collect temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind data that feeds directly into the weather forecast on your phone. Venue: Briggs Field, Cambridge, Massachusetts, US. Registration is handled by the original organizer. Original event and organizer: https://luma.com/fdlorche
