High Altitude Weather Balloons – HAB

These balloons are recommended for individuals or groups who are launching a photographic payload or for amateur weather forecasting. These balloons are capable of carrying photography equipment, GPS tracker and scientific equipment, as well as a full host of other payloads. In the past, groups have sent action figures, family photos and even a vinyl record turntable to near-space. Our HAB’s are top quality, high performance Totex meteorological balloons that will reach their burst altitude over 99% of the time.

Our balloons are manufactured by Kaymont, the worlds largest distributor of Totex Balloons. Over the last 30 years they’ve been used by the U.S. Space Program, and launching by the National Weather Service on a daily basis.
