Matthew's Journal

As I said in my previous post, we're releasing balloons around the clock as part of the VOCALS project here on the Ronald Brown. There's not really anything special about night launches except for the fact that you usually wish you were in bed instead of having to make a sounding. Anyway, I just thought that I would share a picture - of me this time - from last night's 00:00 UTC sounding. As you can see in the picture, I'm filling the balloon in preparation for the launch.

P.S. To anyone who chuckled at the title of this post, shame on you. :)
