I wrote up a very quick summary of the flight here: <a href="http://spaceballoonproject.blogspot.com/2010/06/spacebridge-delta-success.html" target="_blank">http://spaceballoonproject.blogspot.com/2010/06/spacebridge-delta-success.html</a> and posted the images of the launch and both flight cameras here: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/schjlatah/sets/72157624104984989/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/schjlatah/sets/72157624104984989/</a> Like Christopher said, the interesting bits about the upward facing camera is in the ExIF data (Shutter speed, Aperture and dynamic ISO).<br>

Sorry about not writing anything up about the last launch, I got so focused on this upcoming weekend's night launch that I completely forgot to even upload what pictures we got. <div>
<br></div><div>This last launch was about testing 2 things, First the upward facing camera. We were not expecting good images from it, but rather testing what we were able to get, and retrieving the exit data of the images so we can adjust accordingly for our next launch. These pictures all turned out to be nothing more then blue sky (save for a few) and not very interesting to look at, but I'll make them available as soon as I can. We also had the standard horizontal camera, and I have started the upload of those images to my flickr account, hopefully they will be done by morning.<div>
<br></div><div>The second thing we were doing is testing a new launch procedure. There are a few really good shots that Blake took of what we did (they will get uploaded to my flickr account also). Basically, we set everything up, with a tether though a ring so we could get the balloon up out of the way of trees, then we let go of one side of the tether and let it get pulled though the ring. This also allowed us to confirm our net lift before we committed to launching. And yes, these ideas were mainly stolen from Project Bacchus and ended up working extremely well.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As a side note, we did get some really good accelerometer data that will hopefully come in handy down the road.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Christopher</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
