Wily Canadians Launch Sub-Orbital Nikon
- SABLE-3 was launched on Saturday, August 11th, 2007, at 9:31 AM with a payload, consisting of a Nikon Coolpix P2 digital camera set to take 1 image every minute and a Byonics MicroTrak 300 APRS Tracker, that the Kaysam 1200 gram balloon carried to over 117,597 feet.
Beauty pics eh?
That's awesome. I'm always heartened to see amateur science alive and well.
And reach new... heights?
*smiles coquettishly*
Them frostbacks are OBVIOUSLY attempting to take over from us in the space race. When that balloon reaches the moon, it's all over.
Wile E. Canadian.
Yup, me like.
