Yesterday, I got a digital camera for the project. This is actually the mai | |
project - to get my own photos from space (well, 35km is not space yet - The | |
altitude of 100km is generally used to define the boundary of Earth's atmosp | |
so its only a third of the distance - still 3x higher than from a commercial | |
camera should one get that can withstand the harsh conditions of temperature | |
Celsius and an unknown amount of shock, and maybe crash landing back to eart | |
the least expensive one - and preferably secondhand, at least for your first | |
guarantee that you are going to get it back, and if so, in a working state a | |

I'm starting a new personal project in High Altitute Ballooning and would li | |
case anyone has some experience/interest to share in this fasinating hobby. | |
small helium-filled weather balloon carrying a small payload of a few instru | |
of a camera, a few sensors and tracking electronics to successfully retreive | |
balloon will ascent at a rate of 3-5 m/s untill it reaches its bursting poin | |
29-34 km, when the payload will fall back to earth. A parachute is attached | |
to provide a fairly save descent rate of 5-8 m/s for the payload. The payloa | |
kilometers away from the launch point (depending on the wind at various leve | |
it, hopefully contains some interesting data and video/photos from the earth | |
the distance to space. | |

Today I tried out the gopherspace on SDF. It works a lot like ftp sharing, | |
can use this space to keep a blog (called a phlog or glog) or just share doc | |
information you want. Well, I'm trying this glog out right now by submittin | |
create a normal textfile and name it whatever you want. Then you just have | |
in your gopher directory and update another file, called gophermap. This fi | |
configuration/layout on how your gopher page will look. You can read all ab | |
file in the tutorials section on the sdf.org website. | |
