About Event

​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!
