just finished a flight last Friday... and I thought tree recoveries were interesting!

Nice. USI should use this in a brochure.

The Trimble Lassen iQ worked wonderfully. I've got a really nice plot of altitude vs. time with data sent from the GPS to the microcomputer (and logged on an SD card).

Well, the Trimble Lassen iQ has arrived and our pod can now determine its altitude! Works great so far.

I've decided on the Trimble Lassen iQ. Now I just have to figure out how to use it...

Yep! We've done this in the past as well. Be sure to check the list of compatible cameras!
We sent a Canon up last spring using CHDK. If only it hadn't plummeted 4000 feet to its death...

Howard,
I've done some limited research on GPS, and from what I've read, there are difficulties with GPS at > 60,000 ft. Do you have a particular system in mind? I realize it's possible (our StratoSAT and APRS both do it!)…
Kenneth Schnautz commented on Susan Gavin's event 'HIGH ALTITUDE COMPETITION'
Any rules regarding the quality of photos?
Also, is it OK to get data and/or photos more often than required?

At the Universtity of Southern Indiana, we're just now starting to look at using microcontrollers in our flight. The University of Evansville has a competition that requires us to log g-force (3 axis), pressure, temp, and humidity throughout…
