Make sure you are compliant with all FAA regulations prior to your next launch. In this blog post, we cover all the laws and regulations that apply to Near-Space Balloons to make sure you are prepared and compliant.
Balloon Launch
High altitude balloon launches are unpredictable and constant teachers. On a recent launch in December 2019, we were reminded of a few key lessons. Learn from our mistakes!

Perhaps you recognize this post's cover photo from a recent Late Show with Stephen Colbert skit: Astronaut Ice Cream is a Lie. Indeed, that skit used Launch with Us planning and flight hardware to plan for, execute, and retrieve the space ice cream payload. To make sure that we reached our objective altitude, we had to ensure that we chose the proper launch configuration. How did we do it? More about predicting altitude is below, while more details on the story of the Colbert launch itself will be coming in the next blog posts!
