FALL 2024:  FULL

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ

  • This request form is for K-12 balloon launches only! If you would like to request a launch for a non-K-12 group/project, including college groups and individual science fair projects, please see our Flight Opportunities page.
  • Eligible K-12 organizations: schools (public, private, and homeschool), afterschool programs, 4-H, science camps, etc.
  • We take requests on a first come, first serve basis, although priority will be given to new groups.
  • Before submitting a request, please make sure you are familiar with our High-Altitude Ballooning 101 and Ballooning FAQ pages. Any questions or concerns you have may already be addressed there.
  • We try to do 3–4 launches per semester (about one per month). Depending on our availability, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate your request.
  • All launches must take place during the week, Tuesday through Friday.
  • K-12 students are expected to develop payloads that will fly with the balloon. To learn more, visit our K-12 Outreach Flights page.
