Randolph Community College Team Competes in High Altitude Balloon Launch

Randolph Community College was among 10 community colleges who successfully launched high altitude balloons during the second annual North Carolina Community College High Altitude Balloon Payload Competition on April 9 at Catawba Valley Community College in Hickory. The event was sponsored by NASA-funded North Carolina Space Grant. Although all the teams successfully launched, the launch period was not without mishap due to the gusty winds (greater than 30mph gusts) that day in Hickory.
