The launch of a high altitude balloon, instrumented with gps transponder, camera and other instruments, March 30 2008, by 4 students in the Advanced Laboratory and Project course at Queen's University.
We have a GPS unit on a balloon we are about to launch. We were told it stops transmitting above about 20,000 feet but would start again on the way back down. It is a high altitude balloon (burst of 100,000 feet). Does anyone else have experience with this??
My physics class is doing this same thing. But we are having trouble finding a good GPS unit. Can you point me in any directions?

I'm very interested in this! Where did you get the equipment?
