So it begins!

My name is Matt Pleatman, and I'm a senior undergraduate student at Duke University.  This blog will detail my journey to send a weather balloon to "near space" that will hopefully capture scientifically valuable information about high energy particle radiation during thunderstorms.  This project is being completed as an independent study.

None of this would be possible without my adviser, Dr. Steven Cummer, the Jeffrey N. Vinik Associate Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the Pratt School of Engineering.

Let's get started!
