Weather Balloon Sets Nighttime Altitude Record
A seven pound unmanned weather balloon launched at night in April reached a peak altitude surpassing the prior night record by 14 000 feet. The craft carried a probe reporting temperature pressure humidity and wind speed as temperatures hit 22 degrees below zero and winds reached 80 miles per hour. The effort led by Leon P Panak involved the Signal Corps Air Force and Kaysam Corp with a new neoprene fabric and followed the February 1959 daytime record of 146 000 feet.
