UMDBPP Weather Balloon Burst at 104,647 feet Zachary Burnett 2020-12-26 | Balloon burst happens at 0:24. Balloon burst happens because atmospheric pressure lowers with increasing altitude, causing the helium inside the balloon to expand, until eventually the balloon bursts. By the end of this video, the string of payloads, including this camera, were already moving at their terminal velocity of about 150 mph. By the time it reached the ground, the parachute and denser air had slowed the speed considerably to just over 15 mph. The payloads were later safely recovered by the UMDBPP team using the onboard GPS tracker and radio transmitter.On August 21st, 2017, for the 69th balloon launch conducted by the University of Maryland Balloon Payload Program, the team went to Palmetto High School in South Carolina to view the total solar eclipse and launch a weather balloon during totality.
