Today we are launching a server into the stratosphere. During the flight, the stratostat will distribute the Internet, shoot and transmit video and telemetry data to the ground (but this is not accurate)). You can see server movement and telemetry data on the project.
We are broadcasting live from the launch site in a field near Pereslavl-Zalessky, so we apologize in advance for possible special effects during the broadcast.
There is also a contest on the site, in which more than 500 habrazhites put marks on the map in order to guess the place where the server crashed. The main prize for the one who guesses most accurately is a summer trip to Baikonur to launch the Soyuz MS-13 manned spacecraft.
Let's go!
A little background and useful links, for those who missed everything:
- Post about into the stratosphere (what we will encounter in practice at launch)
- How did we do"» of the project - for lovers of geek porn, with details and analysis of the code.
- project where you can monitor the movement of the probe and telemetry in real time
- space communication systems that we will use in launch
And we have a winner who guessed the landing site of the probe better than the others. They became known to all of you Vlad, congratulations! Now let's find the probe and get in touch.
