DREAMS in the summer of 2017 was a Success

In July 2017, we launched DREAMS 25 - the 25th launch of our High-Altitude Balloon program. And, better yet, we finished the 26th and 27th launches coinciding with the total solar eclipse. And, we're not finished. We'll be launching our next missions in the summer of 2018, as part of our sharing with FRC254.

This is DREAMS-26/27. We launched Eclipse to the Edge of Space on August 21, 2017. 
The Columbus Space Program launched its 24th flight of the DREAMS program May 2015. It was our 10th visual recovery where we watched it land. Max altitude was about 90,000 feet with a full payload. The results of the science and other media is posted to the project site at http://dreams2space.wikispaces.com/. There are also photos and videos of launch 25.

Thanks to the Georgia Space Grant Consortium, Muscogee County School District, the Columbus Amateur Radio Club, and Ben Parr for helping make this Near Space experience possible for our students. We also thank the Georgia Governor's Honors program for their interest and additional resources to be added in the summer of 2017. 

Our FIRST Robotics Team 4188 will be using some future launches to recognize sponsors with images taken during flight of mascots and logos.
