@kevinmacko what if it landed over someone's head? it seems that the landing was not very soft. or was it?

@Collin6981 there are a million things i could say. i just discovered that god isn't real... i just saw a baby shoot himself in the face... that's fucked up. i saw a dog eat his own leg off because he had parasites. i saw a load of soldiers crying and cutting their wrists. how could god be real in a place like this? and if he is real, then he can fuck off because he's a sadistic fucking dick head. i also saw a piglet being bashed against a wall by some sick farmers, why? what the fuck? fuck off

@Waitingtoexplode that's just how awesome the gopro hero is!
-
how the hell did those things survive 15 miles of freefall without a parachute?
-
How heavy was the entire thing?
Well done - amazing what can be done with a bit of brain power and some off the shelf components on a relatively low budget < $1000 perhaps? Couple of Q's please
Ascent rate? How many feet per minute.
Control? Did you have any pan control on the GP's (eg model RC - I suppose range would be an issue)
Temperature?
Environment issues at altitude?
Airspace? Did you need clearance?
Excellent effort

@EnVeeTee The peak ascent rate was about 800 feet per minute
No active control on this launch
I think the minimum air temperature was around -60F - we will have more temperature sensors on our next launch
We contacted the FAA before our launch, but technically there are no rules for payloads under 4 pounds

haha so cool. how long did it take you guys to track it down?

@1132ng We got there about 7 hours after launch. We would have got there much sooner if the electronics in the payload hadn't interfered with our GPS tracking device. Once the batteries on the electronics died after about 6 hours, we got a signal and drove straight to the landing site.
