Hello Everyone,
If I were to blast off my model rocket from a weather balloon what altitude would it reach?
I have a model rocket that routinely reaches 10,000' @ sea level. If this were attached to a weather balloon and launched at 100,000', what would happen? Are gravitational pull, reduction of atmosphere, etc. significant enough that this rocket would reach a much greater height then it current capabilities? or would it be relatively negligible? I'm finding a bunch of conflicting information on the magnitude of these forces at a 100,000' launch? Does anyone have any experience or information on this? Thanks so much for reading any information is greatly appreciated.
