Here’s a highlights version of the last April’s PongSat and MiniCube flight video. Just under four minutes but like movie trailers it has the good bits!

Dale Schornack has posted his news piece on our KLM Mission.
Great video and great team interviews!!!!!!!!!!

The mission video is up on youtube!

The video is from all six vehicles. We used seven on board HD cameras and six ground HD camera. We had a high speed camera looking up at the balloon for an amazing burst slow-mo shot.

We shipped the PongSats back without the mission DVD. It takes two weeks to get the DVD’s made and the end of the school year is getting very close. I finished the video yesterday and today it goes to the DVD production company. We’ll send them to the PongSat participants as soon as there back. Until then watch it on line. It came out really great.

We put a 120 frames per second camera on the Away 81 PongSat mission. This is looking up at the balloon while it bursts at the edge of space.

We’re rolling for the desert. Liftoff at 5:30am Monday morning.

Wish us luck and watch us live:
