If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing our planet from above, you’re not alone. Over the past few years, hundreds of brave explorers have sent weather balloons up into near space to bring back videos and images from over 100,000 feet. I did it, and used my experience to build Clouds Below.

Clouds Below handles a lot of the dirty work for you. It includes a burst calculator so you can figure out which balloon size to use, how much gas you’ll need, and how high you can get. It includes a SPOT™ tracker so you can find your payload once it falls back to Earth. It even includes an extensive guide that details my own launch experience, so you can learn from my mistakes and get even higher than I did. It can’t tell you everything, but it’s a start!
