Campaign Story
A team of three will design, construct and launch a professional weather balloon, TYRUS 1 (video camera's attached) to an altitude of between 100,000 and 120,000 feet. Once at maximum altitude a multistage model rocket mounted on the module beneath the balloon will ignite and launch, propelling it to a height of approx. 65 miles. "Space" is defined as 62 miles. The model rocket will be officially in space. This is being accomplished to test a less expensive method of placing objects into orbit and if successful, we will be selling space inside the module for school experiments, ad space, etc.
Rewards
A 3
A still photo taken by one of the two camera's while in flight (assuming the SD cars survive),
A DVD from one or both cameras (Assuming the SD card survives) of the flight, a still photo from one or both cameras of the flight and a handwritten 3
