Prof. Iadevaia's HABE



The culmination of a project that included almost one year of design, planning and building occurred on 8 Oct 2011 when Prof. Iadevaia's High Altitude Balloon Experiment was launched. The Professional Development program at Pima College East Campus supported, in part, this experiment.The HABE payload was part of ANSR Flight 64, a flight to test equipment and techniques used with the various student and teacher NASA sponsored AZ Space Grant launches during the year. All equipment on the HABE payload worked flawlessly and the images and video taken were fantastic.
