Historic Photos Added

May 8th, 2005

I've been attempting to dig up some photo documentation of the earlier days of EOSS. I had some minimal success.

If YOU have some oldies but goodies we haven't posted to the web pages, send them in. It would really help if you KNOW the flight number, and can supply a caption especially if there are individuals in the photo who can be identified.

Below are links to places where you can find the photos I discovered.

Many are from my collection, however, some are from others. They were stored but not properly labeled so I can't give proper attribution. Sorry about that.


EOSS-001

EOSS-1 Recap

I believe but am not 100 percent sure that this photo comes from our first flight. It was stored (hard copy) with a bunch of early photos but is the only one where an individual (Jack, W7JLC/AA0P) is wearing the WVN Balloon Team hat.

EOSS-002

EOSS-2 Recap

These pictures were in a set marked EOSS-2 so I'm fairly confident. Prep, and launch activities.

EOSS-003

EOSS-3 Recap

Picture of Jack Crabtree filling balloon and a second showing him toting it about with two of our charter members in the background.

EOSS-006

EOSS-6 Recap

Excellent photo of the 54K cu.ft. Balloon in the winds of a rough launch attempt.

EOSS-008

EOSS-8 Recap

A few nice photos from the Colorado State Fair launch in Pueblo back in 1992.

EOSS-025

EOSS-25 Recap

All people pictures. No launch prep. Must be really early at the launch site as no apparent preparations are underway


Not so historical but ...

Here are some photos that were originally posted to the EOSS_Trackers email list website. I had to remove them from that location as we were running out of the expansive 20 MBytes Yahoo gives groups to store data (hey, it's free right?). So, I thought I'd add them to the appropriate recaps.

EOSS-051
