On May 5th, 2024, members Ryan Argenti, Rhiannon Cahoe, Gabriel Keller, Jacob Biondo, Grace Dauch, Gabe Pena, and Anthony Haberman along with their advisor, Dr. Greg Blumberg, deployed to the Great Plains. Over this two-week period (5/5-5/19), their goal was to launch Windsonds into supercell thunderstorms collecting environmental data on tornadogenesis.
