March General Meeting
High Altitude Balloon Science
Speaker: Dr. Matthew Patrick
High altitude balloons carry scientific instruments and technical payloads to stratospheric altitudes. This talk will go over some of Dr. Patrick's experiences working on NASA and CSA balloon projects, the science behind balloons and their payloads, as well as some community launches at Calgary Protospace which anyone can take part in.
Dr. Patrick did his PhD in space physics at the University of Calgary. His research was on mapping energetic electron precipitation using data from X-ray spectrometers flown on long-duration high altitude balloons.
