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

Doing HAB means that you have to get a few electronic components - that is if yo |

I'm starting a new personal project in High Altitute Ballooning and would like t |
|
case anyone has some experience/interest to share in this fasinating hobby. My g |
|
small helium-filled weather balloon carrying a small payload of a few instrument |
|
of a camera, a few sensors and tracking electronics to successfully retreive the |
|
balloon will ascent at a rate of 3-5 m/s untill it reaches its bursting point at |
|
29-34 km, when the payload will fall back to earth. A parachute is attached und |
|
to provide a fairly save descent rate of 5-8 m/s for the payload. The payload ma |
|
kilometers away from the launch point (depending on the wind at various levels), |
|
it, hopefully contains some interesting data and video/photos from the earth at |
|
the distance to space. |

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