Homemade Spacecraft

Post by Basstronomer » Mon Oct 04, 2010 12:22 pm

Luke Geissbuhler attached an HD video to a weather balloon and sent it into the air with the hopes that it would reach the upper stratosphere and capture footage of the blackness of space.

I'd be pretty chuffed if I was one of those kids. Awesome!

Yeah, a father-son combo acheives more than any tin foil nutter has so far. They didn't even demand investment!

My guess would be the iphones GPS transmitting data and interfering with camera

well there was the classic phone interference noise at one point, but i'm more with triky, just was weird that is was rhythmic almost like morse code or something and not random data burst as you would figure it'd be picking up more than one satellite at that altitude
