These balloons are the largest commercially available weather balloons in the world. These balloons are capable of carrying extremely heavy payloads and can reach burst altitudes of more than 130,000 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.
