The small sonde balloon flew away yesterday to fall approximately at 100 km of the base. The results gathered today are rather favorable, but the jet streams are still too strong for now.
The small probe balloon flew away yesterday to land about 100 km from the base. The meditative results today are rather favorable, but the jets streams remain nevertheless too strong for Michel's experiment. An inversion of these high height winds is foreseen between Friday and Saturday, what can let augur ideal conditions for the flight of the stratospheric balloon. Winds on the ground will also have to be clement to allow a secure balloon take off.
