Heya, I've been using GPS for altitude on my balloons, but I'm working with a student who's interested in trying a barometric pressure sensor attached to an arduino with my next HAB flight.   I've

Hi Bill That would be great. Thanks Bruce

Bruce. No more than 3 grams free lift. But if using two Mylars you can use 3 grams of free lift each. I have never tried to do a Mylar 36-inch with that heavy of a payload. My heaviest successful

Hi I'm planning on launching a floater balloon from Saskatoon in the near future and it just occured to me that i know just enough to be damgerous. My payload is complete and weighs in at about 40

WOW I can't wait to get home and try my vr goggles. Thanks for posting this 73, Bruce

Phew, editing 360 video sure does take time! I ran the video files through the GoPro software to stabilize it using the IMU data, and that took about 60 hours and resulted in a single file that is

I flew one 3 years ago. A picture is posted here somewhere :D

I flew a GoPro Fusion on Saturday and have about 150GB of footage... it certainly is a lot to process :) I'll see if I can cut it down and get something online soon.

The problem I foresee is having a PC powerful enough to stitch the video in a reasonable amount of time.

Great stuff. I'll be watching. Weather (and forest fire smoke) permitting we're going to fly SABRE-27 next weekend. Nothing special. Just a traditional camera payload.

I will fly one soon, but it may be a huge file when done.

We flew a couple 360s a couple years ago. Cool footage. http://www.hab.forestviewmultimedia.com/flights/09_flight.html I enjoy reading the conversations you folks have. You are a knowledgeable group.

Hi Paul You had me all worked up for a minute thinking you had flown a 360 degree camera. Very interesting though. 73, Bruce - VE5BNC

I posted a short 360 video I recorded of the balloon launches at the Nebraska Star Party. I shared a balloon with NSTAR and the second balloon was launched by the Nebraska Space Grant. The video is

I didn't ask for them at the conference, but please email me your GPSL presentation and Mark Conner can post them online for us. Thanks

I think it's more startling that we filled two separate balloons with very different weights (ours was ~2 lbs, theirs was at least 5) and managed to hit almost exactly the same ascent rate, drift some

Isn't that incredibly interesting. Has anyone have any idea why the two balloons would be moving so differently in the same air mass? Joe WB9SBD
