I have a number of questions, some of which are probably common knowledge or really noobish, but anyways:
1. Are there any amateur rockets (or professional, I suppose) that are attached to a weather balloon (or something like it), sent up some distance, then launched from mid-air?
2. If not, does this sound like a feasible idea? Have any experiments been done?
3. How high can high altitude balloons go, realistically speaking, and what determines this?
4. How much telemetry can you get from a decent-sized amateur rocket? What kind of equipment is required on the rocket and on the ground?
5. How high have the highest amateur rockets gone, and how much did they cost?
6. What kind of motors get used in really high-power amateur rocketry?
Thanks for any and all information you can provide.
