Overview of AHAB• Workforce development program• AHAB students design, build, test and launch balloon-
craft to the edge of space, nearly 100,000 feet above sea level.
• The balloon-craft carry experiments that collect science and other technical data.
• They are used to test satellite components in near-space conditions, to collect atmospheric, and space data and to study the behavior of balloon craft during flight.
