Uploaded by motorbikematt on Jul 25, 2010
Video from a Google NexusOne smartphone with specially programmed Android apps, installed aboard James Dougherty's Intimidator-5 on a CTI N4100 load. Launch from Black Rock Playa on 24-July-2010 thanks to Maverick Civilian Space Foundation.
The video has been edited to slow the video down just prior to parachute deployment to visualize the launch site.

Thanks to the voluntary efforts of Ben Howard, Carmen Felix, Will Marshall, Chris Boshuizen, Matthew Reyes, and Google Über-Dogfooder Ryan Hickman for the development of the payload.

@oOToMeROo If you can program an iPhone in an OPEN SOURCE way under the philosophy of Massive Participatory Exploration, then I will work to get you a badge to volunteer in our lab.
Otherwise....

@RandomlyRantful Take a peek at the Make:Online Blog link that I've posted in the video's description above.
Check out the photo at the top of the "Red Lightning" flame coming out of the Cesaroni N4100 motor. If you peek closely at the torch, you'll see the exhaust coming out like a tornado. It almost looks like a twisted open papertowel roll.
The vorticity of the exhaust is inducing a spin in the opposite direction.
Make sense?

We can use Android instead of costly weather equipments just put in some sensors thats it.. voilà! Thumbs up everyone so that everyone can know the potential of open source! :) :)
-
Amazing!
-
I wish we could access to sensory date that it recorded! it could be very helpful for any one who wants to launch his one and only phone!

Why cant things be as peaceful down here as they look up there?

so freaking awesome!

How high did this go?

You're totally wrong jmar. The astronaut "line" is 328,000 feet.

Well done man. Very nice. :-)

Kármán line is at 328k feet whereas the United States recognizes civilian, commercial, and military astronauts if they've flown over 50 miles (264k feet).

Matt, this is so epic cool you have no idea. Actually I'm fairly positive you know exactly how cool it is. :) You are potentially altering the course of satellite technology as a whole, and -that- is quite commendable. Congrats bro.
