Spacebourne

@Fantanjan we've handed the reigns over to @TechresortEB, looking forward to their kids' code clubs working on the project. More soon!

Back in the new year to finish and launch our project. Apologies for the slow updates, work demands have meant a busy few months!

@Fantanjan summer holidays appeared unexpectedly, we've not been able to get together for a few weeks. Hope to order our balloon next week!

Our new GPS module has arrived! Looking forward to wiring it up on Tuesday. Fingers crossed this one works.

Our launch is moving, CAA needs 28 days notice. Good news, though - all systems are go (and working!). Blog update this week.

@CadburyUK we launch in a month or so, depending on CAA clearance for take off! We'll tweet you some pics on the day. :)

@CadburyUK your tin is attached to a high-altitude balloon, taking it to near-space (~40km up). spacebourne.co.uk

Look, we've built a real spaceship! In a @CadburyUK hot chocolate tin. #science

Our ROAM2 lasted 3h 20m in the freezer and recorded the most boring video ever. Next up, insulation. #science @contour_cam

Just put our ROAM2 camera in the freezer to test -25C temperatures vs. battery life. @contour_cam #science

@ianrweeks @Fantanjan ahhh, the to-do list needs amending! Good call!

Launch Date Announced! spacebourne.co.uk/blog/launch-da…

@Fantanjan later this week we should have an update ready for the site. Cool stuff coming!

We've been quiet for a couple of weeks, but good news: we now have our Contour Roam2 camera and an Intel Galileo! More news soon.

@ianrweeks Happy New Year to you too! 1st making session next week hopefully, which will include footage from our new Contour ROAM2 camera!

Thanks to our newest supporters, @FrederickJBryan and Jake Brindle. Cheers guys!
