The lines from the corners extend up to a central point where they are attached to the parachute lines and also the balloon main line. * Below it the antenna ground plate is attached on 4 foam blocks * Each section of the payload has 15cm x 15cm deck space. text/html 2008-08-19T09:25:15+01:00 James Coxon http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk/wiki/doku.php/ideas?rev=1219134315&do=diff Rockoons Geostationary Balloon Uplink + Downlink text/html 2008-08-19T09:24:34+01:00 James Coxon http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk/wiki/doku.php/start?rev=1219134274&do=diff Updates * Work is nearly complete of HAPS-1 based upon a Gumstix Goliath prototype board - potential launch this weekend (23/08/08). * Will include GSM, Packet Radio, SSTV Image Tranmission from a camera every 10 minutes. * Can be tracked online spacenear.us Online Tracker * Also log on to #highaltitude99 on irc.freenode.net text/html 2008-08-19T09:23:22+01:00 James Coxon http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk/wiki/doku.php/links?rev=1219134202&do=diff UK * <http://www.ukhas.org.uk> * <http://wiki.ukhas.org.uk> * <http://www.srcf.ucam.org/cuspaceflight/> USA * <http://www.spiritofknoxville.com/> Canda * <http://natrium42.com/halo/flight2/> text/html 2008-08-19T08:53:03+01:00 James Coxon http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk/wiki/doku.php/missions:pegasus4?rev=1219132383&do=diff Pegasus IV was never launched, it had random errors right up until launch and it was decided that it was too risky to launch. The flight computer then returned to its day job as a router. Perhaps one day... Step 0 - The theory Basically we need a device that will take its position from a gps module, log it and then format it and then send it via sms back to us therefore informing us of its location allowing retrieval. text/html 2008-08-12T12:29:11+01:00 James Coxon http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk/wiki/doku.php/haps:haps-1:soundmodem.conf?rev=1218540551&do=diff <?xml version="1.0"?> <modem> <configuration name="radio"> <chaccess txdelay="300" slottime="100" ppersist="64" fulldup="0" txtail="30"/> <audio type="soundcard" device="/dev/dsp" halfdup="0" capturechannelmode="Mono" simchan="0 - Ideal channel" snr="10" snrmode="0 - White Gaussian" srate="0"/> <ptt file="/dev/ttyS1"/> <channel name="Channel 0"> <mod mode="afsk" bps="1200" f0="1200" f1="2200" diffenc="1" filter="df9ic/g3ruh"/> <demod mode="afsk" bps="300" f0="1600" … text/html 2008-08-06T09:39:28+01:00 James Coxon http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk/wiki/doku.php/gumstix_bible:goliath?rev=1218011968&do=diff Being used as the flight computer for HAPS-1 Introduction For ATLAS Gumstix kindly sent me a protoype of their GoliathGPS-vx board as it has both onboard Ublox GPS and also a Siemens GSM. The advantage for a balloon payload is its all built on so there are fewer wires to come loss and overall is lighter. There isn't much documentation on the device yet so I thought it would be helpful for me to document as I go along (if you would like contribute please feel free to email.) text/html 2008-08-06T08:33:51+01:00 James Coxon http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk/wiki/doku.php/gumstix_bible?rev=1218008031&do=diff Why? One of the main problems people have when they starting using a Gumstix is the lack of documentation. The documentation is there but its difficult to find and is especially confusing with the new boards and the new open-embedded development system. The Unofficial Gumstix Bible is a collection of documentation that I've put together while I've used Gumstixs as the basis of my balloon flight computers. There are also scripts that I've either written myself directly for the Gumstix or have b…
