Want to launch an experiment on a balloon

NASA is inviting student teams nationwide to design and build an experiment or technology demonstration to be sent to the near space environment of the stratosphere, an altitude of 100,000 feet as part of the Balloonsat High Altitude Flight competition scheduled May 25-27 in Cleveland. To participate, student teams in grades nine through 12 must submit a research or flight demonstration proposal to NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland by Friday, Feb. 19. Teams of four or more may pursue a wide variety of topics in this competition, including science and weather observations, remote sensing and image processing. The top four teams will be awarded travel expenses and up to $1,000 to develop their flight experiment or technology demonstration, and will both participate in three flight days to release, track and recover their experiments as well as tour Glenn facilities and present their findings at Glenn's Balloonsat Symposium. NASA will be host an informational webcast about the competition Jan. 27 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. EST. A link to the webcast and additional information about Balloonsat High Altitude Flight is available here. Good luck!
