I read about near space experiments in Nuts and Volts magazine. I was wandering
if anybody had any good links or suggestions to these types of projects.

everything you
need to get started. Chapter Eight is over 100 pages of experiments. My column
will
expand on these experiments and others. Meanwhile, I recommend you hook up
with the closest near space group. You'll want to have them carry your first
near
spacecraft on a flight. that way you can test your electronics and tracking
without
risking losing the near spacecraft due to a failure.

that was trying to start up in Seattle a couple of years ago. I've not heard if
they are
still actively trying.
It sounds like you definitely need to start on in Oregon.

I too have been reading the articles in Nuts and Volts... and
I'd be more enthuiastic about the popularizing of this activity
if I could understand how this won't lead to air safety issues.
I have not found this issue addressed in the articles. Any
comments from the author on this topic?
Michael
certain height.
You can't be within X miles of an airport or a flight path.
We have "upper air" stations that launch weather balloons twice a day. This
is done at the same GMT time around the world, so airports now this. But
the ones that are close to airports report in to give them a heads up of
what they're doing.
So there are rules...just gotta call'em!

The National Weather Service launches 75,000 radiosondes a year. They have
done this for decades and there is no incident of a radiosonde-airplane
collision.
FAR101 is the regulation governing balloons (and other items). all near
spacecraft
launches are made in accordance with FAR101. FAR101 is an attempt to balance
the needs of users of our air space. By following FAR101, you further reduce
the
chances of problems.
To be on the safe side, we do file a NOTAM before launch so pilots know what to
watch for. The balloons rise at 1000 feet per minute. The near spacecraft
quickly
pass through the altitudes that aircraft fly at. About 2/3rds of the mission is
above
any air traffic.
