These balloons are made to lift larger (7-9 pounds) payloads to altitudes reaching 110,000 feet. With lighter payloads, expect altitudes approaching 115,000 feet under optimal conditions. 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.
