https://www.facebook.com/bigdeltacap/ The squadron completed the Science Project Report, Preliminary Video, Mission Patch and Flight Manifest for the StratoStar High Altitude Balloon Challenge. The experiments in their capsules were shipped to StratoStar. One capsule is the control and will remain on land; the other is the Experiment Capsule and will be flown to a high altitude in Indiana later this month and then both will be returned to the squadron. The cadets are excited to see what changes will occur from the differences in altitude, pressure, temperature, extreme movement and radiation. The specific experiments include raw honeycomb, a pencil eraser, lead fishing weight, copper bb, pen spring, small watercolor marker, piece of dried apple and piece of birch bark. Additional work will be done to complete the Documentary video and the One-Slide Final Reports for each experiment.

Cadets will be offering a Red Ribbon Leadership Academy to local youth on 21 August. Some students have already registered for the course, and cadets are anticipating sharing their knowledge of leadership with them, as well as having some fun with the icebreaker and Team Leadership Project.

At least two squadron members attended the Arctic Lightning Air Show at Eielson AFB and enjoyed it thoroughly! One member assisted in the CAP booth and made connections with potential CAP members.
