Doug What's a radio controlled plane compared with an empty milk box, a plastic bag & shoe lacers parachute and a mighty USTRAX5F (read: 5 fingers) launcher?... You don't know what you can come with things around you and a sunny afternoon with nothing to do...

Ahhh - throw it way up in the air and pictures on the way down
 Cunning. Any pictures of the 'aperatus'?I've been trying to find a way to simulate MOC/HiRISE push-broom imaging using video footage from a radio control plane...no luck yet though - somewhere there must be a sourceforge project Doug |

It's geek power!!!  EDITED: No images from the 'thing' but I can take some when I arrive home, it deserves it...It's the first of a future glorious generation... My idea is not capture images from above, it goes beyond that...The idea is to develop it to the point it can reach the ground and...rove!!!

It's an UFO movie, but the camera was attached to the UFO, so that it yelded no useable science data.

What about that strange life form?: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b14/ustrax3/15.jpg Really, didn't expected it, for a first test to be so cool...It was even possible to make out a panorama from the air...Images were taken during ascent and descent so the joining of the frames are not perfect but it is possible to take a look at the area: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b14/ustr...cynthiaIpan.jpg Detailed section: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b14/ustr...ynthiaIpan2.jpg And this is my favourite, it really gives you the sense of the heighteness it has reached...Developing is urgent! :http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b14/ustrax3/3.jpg -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Thanks for stitching your images, it gives us a startling view of this strange planet. Did you obtained soil analysis results? |

Well, precious historical remains of the first Cynthia spaceship.
Let us guess that Cynthia II will fly higher, and more models to come, so that Cynthia n will be the first spaceship to reach a star... |
