Camera in Space by ME!!

[razgriz19]

alright guyz me and my friend launched a couple of cameras into outer atmosphere about 80,000-100,000 ft.
these are a few pictures, my friend is editing the rest but i couldnt hold it so im sharing a couple of photos with you guyz!
we spent a heck load of time and money on this project! we call it Project Pegasus! =D

I hope you guyz like it!
will post all the other photos (more than 200) and videos that 3 of our cameras took! BTW we also sent my Sony Ericsson X10 Xperia as a gps tracker, i just retrieved it back and now im so happy that my phone was been near the edge of space!

IM TOO EXCITED! SORRY!

WE ALSO CAUGHT THE MOON!!!!
(WE LAUCHED IT DURING THE AFTERNOON.

there is a software that we found, it was only for cannon cameras so we got two of them. what it does is it gives u an option to take photos automatically every 5 seconds, 10, 15 and so on. we did it to 20 seconds, meaning we just had to turn it on and it started to take pictues every 20 seconds.

btw this feature is called Time lapse. search it and you'll find it!

Dude, how did you get the cam in space - physically.

 

[razgriz19]

WE MADE OUR OWN PARACHUTE!
we used "ripstop nylon"

Cameras: Sony and Canon

Inside the container, the empty space on the right was later occupied by "Go Pro" Hero HD camera. it was a last minute thing ya know.

FINAL ASSEMBLY!!! =D
note - the balloon was attached to the parachute with a 2/3 meter thin rope.

How did you relay the pictures ? Or did you have a mechanism to bring it down ?

it came back down, it wasnt it outer space but at the edge of space. it landed about 120km away from the launching site. we just hoped that the SD cards remain intact and work! and they did so yeah

How did you figure out where it would land ?

 

[Tin Man]

Nevermind......didn't read the GPS tracker part.

we found a software that could track it down. (GPS Tracker) we used my phone, this one

we downloaded that software into the phone (you have to have data/internet service, stronger the better)

we got te software from here
InstaMapper - Free Real-Time GPS Tracking
