Dress rehearsal for the annual AET project: AET and AOS students work together to send an altitude balloon up in the sky to travel across the area. It is included with multiple sensors such as one that measures temperature, and a barometer. It will record data once it is set off. Previous balloons have traveled across the Chesapeake bay and all the way to New Jersey! This dress rehearsal was mostly focused on the jobs and how they would eventually send it up. It was a success with the balloon popping in the end.
