The HAB-TX-1000 was developed to support upper air sites in Alaska, Antarctica and Hawaii to gather important readings over 105,000ft. These balloons are recommended for individuals or groups who have had experience in HAB launches and are primarily using payloads of 2 to 4 lbs (1000 to 2000 grams). TX Series balloons are high modulus, high performance balloons focused on superior burst altitude in extreme atmospheric environments. Designed to shed moisture as they rise and retain maximum internal volume capacity, TX balloons usually reach the upper 15th percentile of their respective stand balloon's burst window. TX balloons offer unparalleled performance in the equatorial tropopause, the highest and coldest part of the Earth's stratospheric boundary.
