These balloons provide the highest level of achievement for high altitude balloonists, carrying maximum payloads of up to 12 lbs and reaching burst altitudes of more than 115,000 feet, depending on weight of payload. 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.
