Spectators included students from the Bright Elementary School, who were at the Challenger Center as a part of a school field trip. Paul Barys, WRCB-TV\u2019s chief meteorologist, was on hand to explain the science behind weather balloons.<\/p>\n<p>The balloon was expected to reach a height of up to 18 miles and travel as far as 110 miles.
