Overview
System Breakdown
Balloon Grid
The balloon grid is made out of 126 12" balloons. The balloon grid structure is held rigid by using custom pieces of fishing net cut and prepared in a way so that it forms a "truss" structure. The grid is broke down into individual 3x3 grids that are all wired and constructed separately. Using this technique to create the grid allows you to create all the netting needed a head of time and then place the balloons inside once your ready to launch. An individual balloon can pop or not be present and not deform the grids structures.
