as CNSP-18 is flying well
above the jet stream. The 100-110 kft winds will
take a gradual turn to
the west, and I expect the balloon to cruise along
roughly 50-52N across the <st1:place w:st="on">Atlantic</st1:place>.

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman"

12.0pt">Float altitude has been key to the forward
speed observed. If the
float had occurred at 98,000 ft, the forward
speeds would have been about half
what they are now. The fact that today's float is
in the 110,000 ft range
has put the European coast within reach before the
balloon or batteries expire.
At night the balloon should descend to about
100,000 ft and slow down,
but then rise again tomorrow morning. I would
expect the balloon to be
within range of Irish APRS stations (tuned to
144.39) by 10-12 UTC tomorrow (4th)
and over <st1:country-region w:st="on">Germany</st1:country-region>

evening on the 4th.</span></font></p>
