Liftoff!
This balloon was launched on 27 April 1991 and contained a 1 watt EMTR, CW ID and 3 channels of telemetry. It used standard AA alkaline batteries in a two layered clear plastic enclosure to keep the batteries above freezing. Result: the batteries overheated to an unknown temperature since our temperature curves were all calibrated for colder temps!
