Part 8 of the High Altitude Balloon project.  This is the first live test of the payload heating with a single disposable hand warmer.  This gives me a baseline of what to expect for sustainability of the payload temps. The results were a little surprising but that is why I am doing these :) 

The HC-06 Bluetooth module has been hugely valuable for checking the temps throughout the test without disturbing anything.  Highly recommend anyone incorporate one!

Basically the plan is to launch a helium filled latex weather balloon to approximately 100,000 feet carrying a payload of cameras, experiments and data logging equipment. This will put it in the realm of near-space/stratosphere.

I will post the construction videos/tutorials as we progress through the build.
