This is the monthly design status and update meeting. Participation is both in person and online. Members of Austin Physics for Fun are now involved in the effort. -- [https://www.meetup.com/physics-1/](https://www.meetup.com/physics-1/) The meeting will be held at a private makerspace, Diogenes. It is located in the same building as the adult club Colette Austin. The door is at the left end of the building, Suite C. Go to the back of the first floor workspace and head upstairs. .If you have questions please feel free to submit them in the comments below or send them to me directly. Zoom meeting details will be posted about a half hour before the meeting begins. HABEX - High Altitude Balloon Experiments The reference to experiments is two-fold. The first is in regard to the actual balloon construction and flight processes. The second is a reference to the payload and what it does during the flight (e.g. images, environmental measurements, etc.). To be clear, there will be two design processes going on in parallel, the balloon proper and the payload. This initial flight is really focusing on the balloon to get that process pinned down and clearly defined. The initial payload should be simple (e.g. digital camera taking pictures). One of the primary design considerations will be the use of CanSat techniques in the design and construction process. We may need to build a technology demonstrator for this (i.e. dummy payload) before the actual flight process. CanSat -- [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CanSat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CanSat) Design Process: Design/Buy > Assemble > Test > Loop (Will it fly?) > Flight Plan Meeting Sequence: Pilot - Initial meeting (possibly two) to gauge interest and get first round of participants. Design - Group responsible for the first four stages of the Design Process. - Multiple meetings. Pre-Flight - Review process to date and verify readiness - Set the date of launch - Possibly two meetings Launch - Two teams (Launch and Recovery) Clean up - Launch team cleans up launch site and transitions to tracking and telemetry Recovery - Recovery team (possibly several groups) chases the balloon and tries to stay ahead of it. Post-Flight - Review, analysis, and release of flight report (including experimental results if any). Flight Plan: * Pre-Flight * Schedule * Assembly * Launch * Tracking * Recovery * Review/Release Results Constraints: * COVID 19 * Budget * Resources/Tools/Facilities * Legal (e.g. FAA rules about weight and number of modules) * People * Transportation

Let's do a **3.5 mile hike** in NW Austin at a **brisk pace** on rugged terrain. We may find one of the largest Oak trees in NW Travis County. This trail is rocky and has several hill climbs equivalent to 10 flights of stairs each. No pets please. Meet at the pavillion at the Canyon Creek Trailhead Park off Hwy 620 and Boulder Ln at 10984 Boulder Lane as described below: [https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Canyon+Creek+Trailhead+Park,+Austin,+TX&hl=en&sll=30.438277,-97.8157&sspn=0.013043,0.026157&oq=canyon+creek+,+TX&hq=Canyon+Creek+Trailhead+Park,+Austin,+TX&t=m&z=17](https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Canyon+Creek+Trailhead+Park,+Austin,+TX&hl=en&sll=30.438277,-97.8157&sspn=0.013043,0.026157&oq=canyon+creek+,+TX&hq=Canyon+Creek+Trailhead+Park,+Austin,+TX&t=m&z=17) Bring water and hiking boots.

**San Gabriel River from Blue Hole Hike & Georgetown Red Poppy Festival** This was a fun event last year - let's do it again! We'll hike about a 5-mile portion of the San Gabriel River Trail. We will meet at 9am on Saturday, April 25th, 2026, at the Blue Hole Park trailhead. (Reference: [https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/texas/san-gabriel-trail](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/texas/san-gabriel-trail)) The Blue Hole Park trailhead is at the corner of Rock Street & 2nd Street in downtown Georgetown, next to the Encantada Cocina-Cantina (formerly El Monumento). The [Red Poppy Festival](https://visit.georgetown.org/events/red_poppy_festival/index.php) is a fantastic event. After the hike, we can have lunch at Encantada or a food vendor at the festival, then enjoy booths and live music throughout the rest of the day. Also, I have been doing a lot of travel in 2026 and that will continue for a while. I'm looking for one or two more co-organizers who want to schedule local Austin-area hikes for this group, and I'll plan only a few out-of-state hikes this year.
