 ¿What kind of information is available here?
Clicking on each place of the left menu, you can access to detailed information about all known current and past stratospheric balloon launch sites agrupated by geographical regions.
This include permanent bases (currently active or not) and alternative or temporary sites only used for some campaigns (airfields, universities, open fields, and so on)
Finally also are included historical references to those ships and aircraft carriers wich were used as launch platforms for balloons.
In each continent section you will see at right of each site name a red number indicating the number of launchings registered in StratoCat's data base for that site. Also if you see a blinking green light (  ) that indicates that those sites currently are active.

New on this section
In our latest update on May 24th, we incorporated information about an old launch site located in southamerica, wich was active during a brief lapse in 1982 for launching stratospheric balloons. It is the Uberaba Airport, located in the Minas Gerais State in Brazil.
