Sounds like something interesting to experiment with. You should not really need a chemistry dept to make this sensor. Potassium permanganate is used in...
I was able to get potassium permanaganate years ago at a drug store - it's a disinfectant/anti-fungal. It will stain fabric and skin, so use some caution when...
Just a simple question. How much helium do I need to get positive 7-8 pounds for 1500gm balloon?? which tank to rent? Will try to launch 4th of April at...
The LiftWin program by Hank N1LTV is what most of us use for this purpose: http://www.geocities.com/n1ltv/newliftwin.htm Most likely you'll want a T cylinder...

Hi Nathaniel, I'm working on a SSTV implementation on a microcontroller- controlled balloon transmitter and have it running Martin 1 mode at the moment. You...
There were 2 flights today, but 3 payloads recovered (more on that later in this email) - the third UAH team wasn't ready so will fly next Saturday morning...
Hi Nathaniel, EOSS has relayed slow-scan images through our balloon-borne cross-band repeater, and they came thru fine. We've looked at doing a SSTV payload, ...
Dear friends, BASE 35 has been successfully completed. Launch 15:06 UTC (due to system wide hold for HALO 2 fligths). Burst altitude: 86,000 feet Landing at...
NSTAR has flown SSTV on a few flights, using the Kenwood VC-H1. It's a lot of weight for no more than we do with it (make it transmit SSTV every 3 min) but...
I wonder if we can record the images from GPSL 2009 and make a movie from it? It would be a nice thing to add to a CD of the conference we could make for...
We've had some good results sending the VC-H1 on a balloon back in 1998 and 1999. Images were received 200 miles away with a 340 mW TX. We have a good shot...
Yes, you can........ http://earth.google.com/userguide/v5/ug_movies.html It would probably be best to record all the data and put it in KML format, then set up...
