Well, its everything you guys have been wondering, did we get data? Is it good data? Did it take good photos? How high did it go? Well... some of the info was good, but sadly, some was not there, or total garbage.
Here are the things the mission was supposed to complete: 1. Rise above 90,000 feet and come back in 3 hours - PASS, 93,000 feet in 191 minutes. 2. Send us gps location when landed - FAIL, found it by a trusty farmer 3. Shoot video from keychain camera facing downward for an hour - PASS, got an hour and 15 minutes as high as 40,000 feet! 4. Record temperature data outside and inside the box - FAIL, the later half of the flight said it was 110 F outside! 5. Record GPS data of whole flight - PARTIAL FAIL, it lost data in the middle of the flight, but recovered and got the end. ------------------------------------------major fail------------------------------------------------------------- 5. NO PHOTOS... it ran out of battery and didn't save the photos in the phone, it was a lost data file that we could not recover. in the next couple of posts, we will show you the keychain camera footage and the temperature data PLUS a downloadable file of the flight path you can put in Google Earth (if you have it) it was a overall success and not a science disaster, but wait! There's more! We are going to launch again in summer (80% chance). see you soon! -the gang
