Hello Aerocene friends and pilots. Join us for the next leg of the Aerocene “Around the World” carbon-free solar journey! This Saturday, 27 August at 7:00 a.m., we will be launching Aerocene solar balloon sculptures with atmospheric recording sensor payloads in Schönfelde, Germany (2 hours from Berlin by train).
