Great question! The biggest thing we learned is that new flight hardware (for high altitude balloons) should be THOROUGHLY tested in flight-like conditions before being launched! We have since added thermal testing and vacuum chamber testing to our process, which will ensure successful operation at high altitudes!
Some great shots of Phil!!
I agree! Thanks again for the awesome paint job!
