WHASpaceTrip
Our team are excited to be taking part in Mission Control 2015 sponsored by REACT Engineering Cumbria and SmartFoneStore.
We are a team of 19 students split into 8 sub-groups:
1. Management Team
2. Payload Team
3. Sensors Team
4. Parachute Team
5. Camera Team
6. Journalism team
7. Research Team
8. Photography Team
We have been giving a task set by REACT to build a device that will be attached to a weather balloon and record video footage as it ascends into the higher reaches of the atmosphere and during its return to Earth. The device should be capable of being recovered intact following its return to Earth and should record the altitude reached. The aim is to achieve the highest altitude possible, with the most compelling footage recorded during ascent and descent. In particular images of the atmosphere, the curvature of the Earth and the blackness of space are required.
