Low-Altitude Science Surveys 38-41

bit.ly/KerBalloonProg… Low-Altitude team has signed a multi-contract deal of its own. They will base out of the Kongo River Research Station and conduct releases around the river basin over the next month

low-altitude KerBalloon crew is setting out today for the Kongo River Research Center to carry out several contracts over the next few weeks in and around the river basin. They along with all their equipment will be ferried over via airship by the end of the weekend

low-alt KB crew doing well out in the Kongo River basin. Here's near where they released their second balloon earlier this week, along the bank of the river looking east as it turns northwards before bending back westward & meandering another ~700km towards the sea

recap and learn more about the events from this past week via our Ops Summary, including the return of a Desk Note now that @DKerman_KSA is back from his trip to Sheltered Rock kerbalspace.agency/?p=8811

another photo from the Kongo River basin where the low-altitude KerBalloon crew released from on Thursday. This lowland by the mountains north of the river mouth was once a flooded marshland several hundred thousand years ago

here's another photo from one of their release locations, several lakes (2 of 7 shown here) where the water level periodically raises due to groundwater forced up from an aquifer and becomes a single giant lake that is a temporary tributary to the Kongo
