We flew a lot this month: all Cooling Credits ordered through August 3rd have been delivered, with a new one-day record of 14,010. We are the opposite of "someday maybe" promises to plant theoretical trees. All 3 planes tested fly well; here's a one-minute summary of a successful return-to-home test. We are definitely the best way to get anything weighing <5kg to the stratosphere and back: fastest, most precise, and lowest cost.

And, a much bigger plane:

This is a crop duster deploying calcium carbonate for us. Fortunately, we talked a pilot into doing a test flight for us. Unfortunately, the resultant plume is so spectral that the landowner won't let us do a larger deployment to measure impact. We will find an alternative site this month and perform a measurable deployment by end of year... come hell and/or high desert.

Good progress on sales, too: we hit our $12,000 goal and then some. More this coming month, always.

This month, we will:
-Fly to the stratosphere and return with video 3 times.
-$13,000 in sales.
-Obtain a test site for *extensive* local cooling trials.

Coolly Soaring,
Andrew & Luke
