"We're launching tomorrow morning' says Ed.
"Shame I can't make it, I have to be at work" says I. "At 3 am" says Ed "Hmmm" says I Long story short - hopefully a reflight of the HAPS1 A560 tomorrow - at dawn - with recovery in time for me to get back to Leicester in time for work. Ed will fill you in on the rest of the payload. He's an engineer - I'm just a temperamental artist. Obviously - anyone with half a brain will be fast asleep, so may not be any/many live updates. Possibly live tracking, maybe uStream while we're setting up. The real problem is the toxicology involved in staying up all night with caffeine based beverages. (For people just finding this thread...

Sorry if my question is not relevant : will a mike be riding along with the camera ?
Anyway, I can see different pro to ride a mike : 1- listen what a sound is like at a martian pressure (actualy we'll have to generate some noise to know). 2- Once I staid for over 1.5 month at the Everest base camp (and heigher  ) and I remember the sound (I should say noise) generated by the jet stream so I wonder what it sound like from "inside"Good luck to you all. -------------------- |
