After getting snagged in the trees, the attempt to free the line ended up snapping the tether. Bye, bye, test balloon... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5279554ce4b0eea3e5bdac41/1440686735547-JD3EDH2XPH7BPK68R54M/IMG_2113.JPG HABs Teams were organized into specialty areas.

Here we are testing the drones ability to carry a payload. Lesson learned, do not use such a long tether to the payload. The drone could not compensate for the pendulum swing...crash! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5279554ce4b0eea3e5bdac41/1440686738244-S6SNKDKIFFZZSRMG7FFN/IMG_2140.JPG HABs Drone repair! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5279554ce4b0eea3e5bdac41/1440686739028-QR4VEJXUWDBKU8QFM4OH/IMG_2166.JPG HABs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5279554ce4b0eea3e5bdac41/1440686739051-5VB3LKO0MQRCE8EI2GJH/IMG_2168.JPG HABs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5279554ce4b0eea3e5bdac41/1440686739651-R2XO29FYI4YGTQPQIWS8/mechanism.png HABs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5279554ce4b0eea3e5bdac41/1440686743646-SFGIJ78E6V60H5Z7D5SW/Photo+Jul+31%2C+1+03+31+PM.jpg HABs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5279554ce4b0eea3e5bdac41/1440686742222-QNCNP1CY8JB1COHU46K2/Photo+Jul+31%2C+9+48+07+AM.jpg HABs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5279554ce4b0eea3e5bdac41/1440686744736-LE43WB0O242SK9DGQDYZ/Photo+Jul+31%2C+10+07+50+AM.jpg HABs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5279554ce4b0eea3e5bdac41/1440686744903-200UUF33TD1BIV5QAFPJ/Photo+Jul+31%2C+11+37+08+AM.jpg HABs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5279554ce4b0eea3e5bdac41/1440686746923-C0Q8KCBLGK0GPV1F7WVA/prototype.jpg HABs Curtis Wyman of Woodsville High School working on the prototype payload device to carry the instrumentation to the edge of space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5279554ce4b0eea3e5bdac41/1440686749164-FAYBHW4IZ8E690EVD7P3/tethered+test.JPG HABs Payload containers and parachutes were tested from a tethered drop from the Gorham railroad trestle after high winds deterred testing release mechanisms from a tethered balloon or drone.
