Right now, we are estimating that the balloon + payload is going to land somewhere in north Massachusetts. Initially we were going to use the website http://weather.uwyo.edu/polar/balloon_traj.html to predict this trajectory, but recently we have found that http://habhub.org/predict will be much more precise. But in order for us to get this good estimate, we need to answer a couple of questions:
1. What is our ascent rate expected to be?
2. What is our burst altitude expected to be?
3. What is our descent rate expected to be?
Once we have these questions answered, we can get a great prediction on habhub and then work it into our papers.
