CHERRY Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Found this link on another forum that I go to and thought you guys might enjoy. It is about a family that sends a camera into space and recovers it with neat video. http://www.brooklynspaceprogram.org/BSP/Space_Balloon.html Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted that in the stills thread I started. What I want to know is what exactly these people are using for GPS tracking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinwebb Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Me too! I posted that in the stills thread I started. What I want to know is what exactly these people are using for GPS tracking? awesome!! we should compare ideas i have a few links of what GPS units people have used all from a cheap boost mobile cell phone to a gps tracking unit (which is what i shall use) to an iphone. I will more then likely have one camera for stills and if i can figure out how to manage it one good quality video camera mounted on the side and perhaps one mounted looking straight down. It will also have some LED's on the outside that blink so it can be found slightly easier and will be kept warm with hand warmers and have a Lithium ion battery to power it all. I can get helium from work cheap as we have a corporate contract and a huge tank lol. Just gotta come up with a lightweight container for all of it, been designing things in CAD lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Me too! I posted that in the stills thread I started.

Sucks the batteries died 2 mins from landing... i really wanted to see that part lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
