Hi guys, normally i post cooking videos, but i have been pretty busy in the last few weeks getting this project done and dusted.
My brother and I launched a helium filled weather balloon to an altitude of 31.88km. It battled -34 degree temperatures and 90km/h winds, all while taking a pictures on a time lapse and some video.
For more photos and information on the whole project, visit : http://lyontwins.blogspot.co.nz/
Ill get back on track with some more cooking videos shortly!
On July 26, 2014, three high-power sport rockets built and refurbished by interns at United Launch Alliance launched 18 payloads built by interns from Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp interns and K-12 students from Colorado, Ohio and Alabama. Over an eight-week period, working on their own time, the ULA and Ball Aerospace interns design, build and test the rockets and the payloads (onboard instruments/experiments that are deployed after launch) with the guidance of mentors from both companies. The 25-foot-tall Future rocket is the tallest to launch from Colorado.
High altitude balloon flight over uk - shot with GoPro with telemetry data overlay using Dashware.
The balloon didn't shred well and it became entangled with parachute. A clear day and at the top of flight the coastline of the entire of southern England is visible, due to impact still camera photos replace the final few seconds at the end of the video. Key times: Balloon burst at 15:00, Jet fly by at 19:44, Balloon entangled at 24:40, horses at the end! (Be sure to select HD, Divide by 10 to get correct LON)
Various time-lapse videos taken in different places, almost all on Oahu. Used the magic lantern intervalometer (it's amazing), and shot in all raw images. Be sure to watch in HD and enjoy!

AZHAL-1 HAB (High-Altitude-Balloon) Launch for the GSBC (Global Space Balloon Challenge) -- Apr 19, 2014, reaching 93,000 feet.
This was our fourth launch. Find out more at surlee.com
CAUTION: typo at 5:30: says "17 minutes: 52,000 feet" -- should say "60 minutes."
It was actually 1700 MST, but it was late, and I was tired.
Bummer, but if I re-gen it now, I think this link will break, so I plan to leave it for the time being.

Near Space Weather Balloon Launch With Gopro To 109 000 Feet! - YouTube
The 24th of July we launched a weather balloon, hoping it would reach an altitude of at least 27 000meters. And it reached 33 000meters/109 000 feet!

balloon bought from here: (600g pawan) http://randomaerospace.com/Random_Aerospace/Balloons.html
parachute: http://spherachutes.com/
Inside the box was:
-Gps Tracker bought from ebay : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vehicle-GSM-GPRS-GPS-Tracker-Car-Tracking-Locator-Device-TK102B-Exquisite-/262335873297?hash=item3d146fc111:g:NpsAAOSwZ8ZW3PZ5 (know it looks cheap and shitty, but it worked like a charm!)
-Cell phone with an app that logged data. This was an old android cellphone. I also installed an app called gps logger, and thats how i got all the altitude information. The information about the trip itself (latitude, longitude) was stored in the cellphone and taken for closer look when we found the balloon.
-Gopro hero 3 white edition. (Too bad if you don't like the fisheye leens)
-Extra batterypack for gopro. This was also completely necessary, because without it the gopro wouldn't have any power left all the way through the trip.
-Hand warmers. This was VERY important. without this, all the electronics would most likely fail, so a couple of handwarmers from your local sports store is a must. (they were even warm when we found the box, after experiencing temperatures as low as -60 C!)
We launched the balloon and the box from Verdal, and it landed in Viggja, Norway.
The box itself was also 100% waterproof. we used silicone to fill up all the gaps that could be exposed to water. and the electronics inside was also in waterproof bags. since we had to drill a hole through the waterprood casing to the gopro to keep it constant charging with a cable, we had to fill this gap ut with silicone aswell.

iPhone 6 in Space! HD balloon flight to 101,000 Feet by UAG - YouTube
On November 28th, 2014 we sent a brand new iPhone 6 on the ultimate adventure to the stratosphere. On its journey, the iPhone reached a height of over 101,000 feet and encountered temperatures as cold as -79 degrees F and winds as strong as 70 MPH. During the descent the iPhone 6 and flight rig withstood a 150 PRM rotation as the parachute deployed and the rig fought to stabilize.
Upon landing the flight rig broke apart, however the iPhone remained unscathed and in perfect working order.
The flight rig contained two GoPro cameras, 1 GPS locator and a backup phone with GPS and active tracking installed. The flight lasted over 3 hours and covered 12 miles across the ground. The iPhone 6 was wrapped in our composite iPhone 6 case with no screen protector installed. The iPhone was on upon takeoff but froze and shut down as the temperature dropped. When the iPhone 6 and flight rig were found, the iPhone was powered on and tested for full functionality. Enjoy the video!

We Sent "The Rock" to SPACE! 🚀:
https://youtu.be/G1qQKjfUujM
SEE NOTES AT BOTTOM***
After a year of planning, designing, and preparation, we, the Engineering Club at Arnold High School in Panama City Beach, FL, have FINALLY released our high-altitude weather balloon! It traveled a total of 90,000ft (~28,000m) into the atmosphere, capturing stunning views of near-space with the on-board GoPro. With the help of a Spot Gen3 GPS tracker included in our payload, we found it in St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in Wakulla County, FL--a full 100 miles (160km) from Gulf Coast State College where we launched it from!
So many people contributed their time to making this launch possible, so we want to thank all the groups and people involved below:
-The Rangers out at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge (without them, we would have never gotten this footage that you're seeing now!)
-Gulf Coast State College (especially Tony, Alan, and Brandon!)
-The entire AHS Engineering Club
-Joseph Bell (Engineering and Math teacher as well as head of the Engineering Club!)
Below are notable times throughout the video:
- 0:00:00 (Launch, obviously :D)
- 1:50:00 (Panama City Beach, FL)
- 1:50:34 (St. Marks Wildlife Refuge + more)
- 1:50:58 (Landmarks in GA, AL, and FL)
- 1:55:45 (Balloon bursting point)
- 2:34:00 (Landing)
We are planning on creating a full video outlining the design process, set up, launch, and retrieval of the balloon as well (that isn't 2 1/2 hours long), so stay tuned for that! If you liked this video, make sure you hit that "like" button and subscribe for more!
***NOTES:
1) Due to the influx of comments asking about the fisheye lens or flat Earth, I will address that here. Yes, we know we used a fisheye lens instead of a regular one, but we were not concerned with proving that the Earth isn't flat. We just wanted a very wide view from 90,000ft, and figured fisheye was the best lens to go with considering we had never done anything like this before and already know that the Earth obviously isn't flat (but we'll leave that debate in the comments). Side note: we actually planned on having two GoPros capture footage, one with a standard lens on one side and another with wide angle turned on on the other side. Because we had never done this before we accidentally let some of our helium leak out of the canister while inflating, so we prematurely ran out of helium before hitting our target lift. In order to compensate, we had to reduce the weight, removing one GoPro (the regular lens bc that GoPro was heavier), and the 3D printed Tesla Roadster that we were going to send up as well. Even with these setbacks and kinks we still considered this launch very successful since we were able to accurately predict where it would land, got good footage back, hit our target altitude, and had a lot of fun in the process!
2) I will also address the "smudge" on the camera lens. Although it appears as though someone got fingerprints on the camera lens and we just let that slide after a year of planning, that's completely incorrect. After getting everything set up and ready for launch, the box tipped over due to heavy wind and the camera lens hit the concrete, permanently scratching it. We knew the lens was scratched before launch but we didn't have time to find a new camera and replace it, due to custom 3D printed mounts that we had designed and printed specifically to the dimensions of each camera. However, the smudge really isn't that bad and we are still extraordinarily happy with the footage!
3) Yes, we know that 90,000ft (about 28km) technically isn't space. The Karman line (most agreed upon line for space) technically starts at 100km up, but the line where space starts doesn't have an official recognized starting point anyway, since technically Earth's atmosphere extends for thousands of miles into space. Disregarding the Karman line, our balloon still reached an altitude that was above 99 percent of Earth's atmosphere, at a temperature of -77°F and a pressure so low your blood would begin to boil at body temperature, so we consider it close enough to space for our concerns 😉.
