For every student who has dreamed of flying an experiment into the heavens, welcome. BalloonSats without Borders (BwB) is dedicated to creating opportunities for all students, young and old, in formal or informal educational settings, to fly their experiment into near space. It is the hope of BwB that by sharing BalloonSats, people make more friends around the world. After all, the Internet, air travel, and globalization makes it more important that we view each other more as potential friends than competitors.
