Cool Stuff

This area will provide links to the most interesting pages on the EOSS website.

I have a problem. All pages look the same to me (the webmaster). If you find a "Cool" page on our site that you think should be posted here, email ME.

Most links lead to a flight recap web page where you can then easily find the subject.

Video

Ride along with a chase team as they race to the touchdown of a balloon. Both of these videos were taken by the same tracking and recovery team.

• Touchdown on EOSS-66 Recap Page (look for Video)
• Touchdown in fog. On EOSS-79 the payloads descended in fog. Never the less, one tracking and recovery team was close enough to actually video the last few seconds of the descent. It's kind of cool.

View the burst of a balloon from two locations (different balloons).

• Balloon burst video received from on board ATV during EOSS-86
• Balloon Burst as seen through a telescope from the ground station during EOSS-85

Audio

Hear an interview with Mike Manes on KFRC radio

• "Another Look" Radio Program

Listen to the entire process. Hear the weekly EOSS net prior to flight, the tracking and recovery net the evening before flight, and the audio from the tracking and recovery teams during the actual balloon flight.
