Pella Girl Scout Two-Month Balloon Launch Journey Ends With Worldwide Trips.

Pella Girl Scouts Troop #122 launched a balloon with the Pella Amateur Radio club that recently ended its course after several trips around the globe. In August, the two groups launched an amateur radio GPS receiver attached to a balloon, as often happens in area classrooms throughout the academic year at Pella and Pella Christian. This project served as part of their Girl Scout Cadette Citizen Scientist Journey on August 3, 2021 and they were able to track the balloon on their computers and smart phones where ever it traveled ever since. Their balloon went around the world almost three and a half times, before it tried to fly over the top of a hurricane on October 1st.
