Project Aether, full launch Aug 2010, part 1 [HD]



www.ProjectAether.org


Project Aether is a program designed to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, explorers, and dreamers. We are composed of a small number of professional rocket scientist and space physicist mentors and a group of high school students. We want to share our experiences with the world. Performed with off the shelf hardware, the inaugural flight of Project Aether documents how space exploration can be accessible to the individual.


We use the HeroHD cameras which were donated GoPro. They were an ideal fit for this application in the near space environment. We launched the HeroHD unmodified and they survived temperatures as low as -95 F, and pressures below 1/100th of an atmosphere

Next point the camera down with a reasonably wide angle lense attached and you'll have terrific images of the earth

This is great. At 1.37.34 you can see the parachute

very good video, i love the fact that you showed everything including the descent alll the way to the ground. Next i wanna see you guys video taping yourself going gps tracking it and finding the parachute and cameras, that would be pretty cool to see after, just like the video of you prelaunch

1.38.34 wtf is that?

@minidude42700 looks like part of the balloon to me you can see it kinda flap around

i once blew a weather baloon up by my own and a friend kane howards lungs , it took us hours and in the end the result was the same u drop them from a certain height, u expect them to pop on an angle you can disseminate, but yet everything went wrong and we looked liked dicks . at least we could explain where and when things went wrong !! its about mass and how fast its image can be blown to distort ..... dont look to much into it is all im saying !!!
