Extremely grateful to Professor @A_J_Higgins for recovering a high-altitude balloon payload that we thought was lost! Excited to hopefully get some data from the SD card that miraculously survived a year exposed to the elements on Mont Tremblant.
Exactly a year and a week ago, I launched a high altitude balloon with @mcgillrocket, a flight that ended anticlimactically with the payload coming down in Mont-Tremblant National Park, stuck very high up in a tree. Original thread here from last year here…

Crisp -5 °C spring morning on the banks of the St. Lawrence River for another balloon launch. Ambitious plan for the day: Short duration morning flight with @mcgillrocket and then a night launch targeting a high-altitude flight with @McGill_AdAstra.

The Payload subteam is responsible for creating the experience we are going to launch aboard our rocket in order to give meaning to our activities. The first reason why we use rockets is to be able to perform experimentation and collect data ✨🚀

Payload has developed many projects, such as a bacteria sampling experiment to study the microorganisms present at high altitude, or a vibration detector to understand how vibrations taking place during flight affect our #rocket.
They are constantly looking for new ideas! 🚀
