Orbs 32" Clear Pico Balloon

Orbz balloons are some of our most favorite mylar balloon. They provide huge impact and look stunning. Typically used in balloon garlands, balloon column toppers, or suspended around a room. They can be inflated with air or helium and have a self-sealing valve. Cannot be fully inflated with a straw and breath alone. The balloon needs to stretch to form and requires more power from an electric inflator, balloon hand pump or helium regulator. If inflating with helium, it requires the latex valve to be used. The latex valve will provide enough force to fully inflate the balloon. Please note that during inflation, it may make a popping or cracking sound as it expands. This is from the seams seperating and should not alarm you that the balloon may be popping. Fully inflate until all the wrinkles are gone and the balloon is perfectly round. 

Pico balloons are small, unmanned balloons designed to travel through the Earth's atmosphere, often at high altitudes. They are typically used for scientific research, amateur radio experimentation, or as part of educational projects. These balloons are usually filled with helium or hydrogen gas to provide buoyancy, and they carry a payload consisting of instruments for measuring various atmospheric parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and sometimes radiation levels.

One notable aspect of pico balloons is their lightweight construction, which allows them to reach high altitudes while being carried by winds in the stratosphere. They are equipped with GPS tracking systems to monitor their location and trajectory, as well as radio transmitters to send telemetry data back to ground stations.

Pico balloons can stay aloft for days, weeks, or even months, depending on factors such as weather conditions and the design of the balloon and its payload. They have been used for a variety of purposes, including studying weather patterns, monitoring air quality, and even participating in amateur radio contests or challenges to see how far they can travel.
