How be difficult would it be to adapt their low-cost approach to give more useful images for mapping? Is it just a matter of attaching the camera to some sort of gimbal? ... because you'd only sending it up to 3,500m (rather than 30,000m) you wouldn't need to worry so much about low temperatures freezing the batteries.
