Re: let's launch a FR into space
Would a FR be able to connect to GSM cells from 30km above ground? I don't know but would doubt it from theory. Antennas [directed at] earth's surface. I second the theory. How about wifi? Line of sight should not be a problem on a cloudles day... The baloon could be shaped as a directional antenna when covering the top half in a reflective coating. An amateur radio telescope could use a wifi dongle as receiver and track the baloon as it rises into space. (...) Hahaha, plug nav-board ;-) Has anyone ever tried video streaming from the FR? The first questions is how to connect a camera. USB-hub? Regards, Boudewijn ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

So, first idea. Is it possible to live stream the video from the launch? Very likely. Would a FR be able to connect to GSM cells from 30km above ground? I don't know but would doubt it from theory. Antennas on GSM base stations don't have a half-spherical characteristics but try to bundle the transmitter's energy to a location where it is needed mostly. And that is on earth's surface. But that could be part of the experiment. Just log the list of GSM base stations found. And add a Freerunner Navigation Board to get barometric altitude. So you can see at which altitude which signals can be received. Has anyone ever tried video streaming from the FR?

Re: let's launch a FR into space
Hi all, From what i understand the doppler effect on the gsm signal limits the max speed to +/- 250 Km/h. So even with GSM coverage i doubt if it will be able to connect.
