BVEX completes its first balloon flight campaign
Well this post is quite a few weeks after the conclusion of our campaign... but as you will hear it was a bit of an adventure and I, at least, needed a bit of time to process all that happened.
Pre-launch telescope testing

The Balloon Borne Very Large Baseline Experiment (BVEX)
The Balloon-borne Very Long Baseline Interferometry Experiment (BVEX) is a new project, led by astrophysicists at Queen's University, with the goal of showing that radio telescopes suspended from helium balloons can join with ground-based telescopes to create an Earth-spanning radio observatory!
