Stanford launched two balloons about a half hour apart at dawn on
Saturday, December 15, 2007.
BioLaunch B07E carried a solar sail just for testing at high altitude.
It reached 95,000' altitude and returned on parachute.
BioLaunch B07F carried a UAV glider just for electronics test.
It was cut down in flight by the crew due to an altimeter calibration error.
It reached about 30,000' before cutdown and return on parachute.
Photos here are grouped by the photographer.
