A few months ago, when I decided to launch this project, I knew absolutely nothing in air traffic regulation, wind prediction, balloon inflation, satellite tracking systems,...

A monstrous balloonesque inflated ‘Thank you’ to all the following people. Without your kindness and detailed explanations, these missions would have been impossible to launch :

  • Roeland Van Malderen @ IRM (Institut Royal Météorologique, Brussels, Belgium)
  • Thierry Dessilly @ DGTA (Direction Générale du Transport Aérien)
  • Jean Scaillet @ FLOW-TRONIC
  • M. Lambert @ AIR LIQUIDE
  • Andy Lebrun @ FRAPI
  • Baudouin Vergote @ VERGOTE
and
  • Barbara, John & Audrey @ MYFAMILY
  • Emile, Philippe, Charlotte, Reggy, Claudine & Paolo for balloon launch and capsule recovery support
  • Alice, the wacko cat mascot who escaped the capsule just before launch. Lucky one. Cats do not survive at 33 km high. Nor do mice.
