Next weekend, if everything goes well, a 15x30cm carbon deck will fly onboard HAPS-1 -http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk/wiki/doku.php/missions:haps:haps-1
One end of the deck will be the flight radio, the other is my responsibility, a single camera (Powershot A560 ), stand alone GPS logger (to 18km), and a small wide angle mirror so the camera can see the payload, the chute and the envelope above. Still working on a hacked firmware for the A560 - but the intention is every minute will include 15s of video, and then 5-10 stills in fairly quick succession - with the hope that the rotation of the balloon will give us some mosaics out of each section. More details, some photos etc, later in the week. |

Fascinating venture! Congratulations!
Yeah first you may think the ride on the balloon is intense before you've seen the ride with the parachute ![]() Apropos, if it's desired, would it be possible to stabilize the payload with a kind of tail unit that run with the wind? In this sequence do you hear an airplane too? http://www.umsfbu.com/HAPS1/VIDEOS/MVI_6080.AVI A violation of the exclusion zone ![]() -------------------- |
