These are some of the major, basic items JP Aerospace uses before every launch. I fully anticipate John Powell revealing more of the specific checklists, such as balloon fill, and systems check as his production studio ramps up.
Dale Schornack Narrating
Dale puts it all together in the professional way only he knows how to do. (Dale was anchor newscaster at local Sacramento channel 10 for it’s best years.)
By The Book
Fairly typical launch, ascension height, for JP Aerospace. No one else appears to match John M. Powell’s record for consistently successful flight achievements.
Balloon Tangles on the Way Down
Sometimes the balloon shreds, but tangles with efficient parachute deployment.
Small, Gentle Rocket
Do not go gently into that dark night. Yet, go too forcefully and the fabric envelope will deform. This is the confinement paradigm when your airship is made of simply sewn material. So small scale, the forces are slight. As we scale up, and the airship has greater mass, we can excite and move the plasma at greater velocities. Adding a number of components, not shown here, we orchestrate the Symphony engine, which powers the Orbital Airship (Orbital Ascender) to rendezvous altitudes.
Last? Launch from Black Rock
This great team found and retrieved the high rack after it’s journey to the edge of space, probably saving a good number of student experiments in the form of PongSats. This may have been one of the final launches from the Black Rock desert from our usual spot north of Gerlach, Nevada.
What Happens When You Rise Too High
If I rise to high, will I burst? At 63,000 ft, the blood”boils.” This balloon was much higher. Can a person rise too high in business life? Is what’s too high for me, the same as what’s too high for you? Will I burst if I get too successful? Why did I once fear success, but don’t so much now? Let me get back down to earth. This is just a balloon burst.
Farm Fresh Food
While we’re heading to space, let’s see how one couple in small town Louisiana is bringing back the corner grocery store, where one didn’t exist before.

So many steps to the goal of a high frequency plasma chemical engine that also operates as a recharging system in specified flight regimes.

In 2011, doing launches supporting a Samsung of Japan commercial, we launched in winds gusting to 45 knots. That was when http://www.JPAerospace.com was flying out of the Black Rock desert.
