A university
in Oregon will
use balloons
to track
eclipse
PORTLAND (AP) —
Portland State University in
Oregon will launch four high-
altitude balloons equipped
with GPS tracking systems
and 360-degree video cam-
eras during the upcoming
solar eclipse.
The university said
Wednesday that the balloons
will allow anyone to watch
a live stream online as the
moon’s shadow darkens a
large swath of Oregon on
August 21.
One balloon will be a part
of a larger live-streaming
project funded by NASA that
involves 55 college and school
teams throughout the U.S.
Three others are part of a
PSU project.
The first balloon will
reach 70,000 feet in the air,
the second will reach 100,000
feet and the third will go to
130,000 feet.
For comparison, the school
says a typical airliner cruises
at an altitude of 39,000 feet.
