Last September we flew wedding rings for our friend Kota and his Bride.

These flights make our explorations real to real people out there in the real world.

Here’s twelve minutes boiled down from thirty-two hours of footage. On September 29, 2012 we flew six vehicle in one day. Five of them carried just over 1200 PongSats.

Away 75 in the sun and very above it all.

We’ve done two test firings of the new unit.

In addition to the new core design we’ve done a lot of small upgrades. The data system has gone from 9 to 12 volts (it’s amazing how many things this fixed). The probe connections are now all on one side of the MHD core. The rubber motor seals have gone back to the old style and there is a new data harness.

To making testing easier we’ve built the little red wagon test stand!

They did a wonderful job. Check it out:

Last September we were honored to fly wedding rings for our friend Kota Takaichi. He has made an incredible and moving video about the project. You gotta watch it!

I just got word we’re scheduled to be on the NBC Evening News with Brian Williams tonight. We got bumped last time. Everybody hope for a quite news day!

Lots of PongSats. Students making PongSats, JPA playing at the edge of space, kids opening PongSats to see what happened. There should be some great in flight video too.

Tell everybody you know. I think it’s going to happen this time. 🙂
