The HAB-TX-1600 is capable of carrying 4-6lb payloads over 100,000 ft. The HAB-TX-1600 was developed for the NASA-supported Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project. Operators should be experienced with HAB launches and familiar with FAA requirements. 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.
