The BVEX team has arrived at the Canadian Space Agency's Timmins Stratospheric Balloon Base for our first ever launch campaign. 

In total the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) will launch four gondolas housing scientific.  We will be the largest experiment on the third launch, which should take place during the last week of August.  

In the meantime we have lots of testing and software writing to do.  It's always possible that some thing came lose or broke on the 9-hour drive from Kingston, so we want to check that everything works before we integrate on the gondola!
