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. |

Hello to the forum and congratulations...
May I ask about the complications involved to "clear" this flight ? Is the BAA not "down with this sort of thing"... I'm quite "undulled" as a Scotsman myself... cheers All, Eoin -------------------- 'She drove until the wheels fell off...'

I don't know about this specific flight -- maybe Doug or James Coxon can say -- but on the Pegasus wiki for a previous flight there's this description of the permission/notice procedure. |
