Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project: Where we've been and where we're going
Abstract:
It’s hard to believe that the 53 Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project (NEBP) teams have been fully participating for a year now and that the total eclipse is less than three months away! In this talk, we’ll look back at what NEBP has already accomplished, such as flying 600 balloons for the annular eclipse, collecting 5TB+ of data, and engaging over 800 students and mentors. We’ll also preview plans for the big day, including being seen by the 1 billion people (yes, billion) NASA expects on their live broadcast. NEBP is a unique project that is both an education effort and cutting-edge research – let’s celebrate what the project means to us as individuals, as teams, to our communities, and also as inspiration for those who learn about it.
