We mounted a small
camera on the gondola of
the balloon. In this way
we were able to observe
the expansion of the
balloon and calculate the
volume.Temperature and
pressure were measured
by the Altimeter Module
MS5607 Arduino Nano.
With the ASGARD project we were able to send a
hydrogen balloon into the stratosphere with our own
experiment. The stratosphere is the second layer of
Earth's atmosphere and starts at about 10 km and
ends at 50 km.

What is the amount of gas in the balloon during the
flight? Does it change or does it stay the same?

Introduction
THE IDEAL GAS LAW
ASGARD Balloons for science
p(h)-graphT(h)-graph
The higher the balloon, the less
air above it. This means less
pressure.
The fluctuations in temperature
can be explained by the different
atmospheric layers.
The ideal gas law is
confirmed, the
amount of substance
of gas in the balloon
stays the same!
