HackPittsburgh entered the 2010 Hackerspaces in Space contest (http://www.workshop88.com/space). This page will be used to document our progress in the competition and any other works in near space balloon flights.

Lofted Electronic Aerial Device Balloon Project

On March 13th Lofted Electronic Aerial Device Balloon Project or LEAD Balloon Project was selected as the project name.
