Adjournment of Michel Fournier's big Jump in May, 2003.
|
||
|
||
Two attempts of launch failed : the first because of the wind which got up
|
||
prematurely and the second due to a technical hitch during the inflating of
|
||
the envelope.
|
||
The team of the Big Jump, folds luggage, having waited up to the end for an
|
||
opportunity for the launch of the balloon stratosph<70>rique allowing to raise
|
||
the
|
||
|
||
capsule pressurized by Michel Fournier at more than 40 000 metres in height.
|
||
As expected, in the date of September 20, the jets stream strengthened in
|
||
300 kph announcing the imminent arrival of the winter and closing until next
|
||
May the meteorological window favorable to a human raid in the stratosphere.
|
||
On the plains of Saskatchewan, the first snows are waited in the days which
|
||
come.Meeting in all in May, 2003.
