Balloon Trajectory programs

  • CU Spaceflight Landing Predicton - Similar to wyoming however is quicker to run and has more variables such as ascent and drag factor so you can tailor make your predicted trajectory flight path.
  • University of Wyoming's Balloon Trajectory program - Assumes about a 270m/min (4.5m/sec) ascent rate and 4.9m/sec (low altitude) descent rate.
  • Near Space Ventures Flight Track - Online version of Bill Browns original BASIC Balloon Track (appears to just use US Weather Stations) Try WATTISHAM RAF(03590), COLTISHALL (03495), HEMSBY (03496) as nearest WMO stations to Cambridge.
