Project Airborne Runs Into Some Roadblocks
As of right now, we’re postponing the launch of Project Airborne to April 25th. This is due to the poor weather conditions expected for our original launch date of April 17th. Additionally, we’re working with the Penn State Office of Risk Management and the Federal Aviation Administration to get permission for launching.
Team Project Airborne is still working hard to identify and secure an alternate launching location so that the balloon will land in a less densely-populated area. Below you can see a few of the project launch and touchdown locations. All of which are in less populated areas in southern PA and northern MD.
Additional updates will be furnished once we get approval from the FAA and the Penn State Office of Risk Management. Stay tuned!
