Spacebourne

Eastbourne's space programme, aiming for the stratosphere!

[Spacebourne @spacebourne]

@Fantanjan we've handed the reigns over to @TechresortEB, looking forward to their kids' code clubs working on the project. More soon!

[Spacebourne @spacebourne]

Back in the new year to finish and launch our project. Apologies for the slow updates, work demands have meant a busy few months!

[Spacebourne @spacebourne]

@Fantanjan summer holidays appeared unexpectedly, we've not been able to get together for a few weeks. Hope to order our balloon next week!

[Spacebourne @spacebourne]

Our new GPS module has arrived! Looking forward to wiring it up on Tuesday. Fingers crossed this one works.

[Spacebourne @spacebourne]

Our launch is moving, CAA needs 28 days notice. Good news, though - all systems are go (and working!). Blog update this week.

[Spacebourne @spacebourne]

@CadburyUK we launch in a month or so, depending on CAA clearance for take off! We'll tweet you some pics on the day. :)

@CadburyUK your tin is attached to a high-altitude balloon, taking it to near-space (~40km up). http://t.co/tJ7adizQxP

Look, we've built a real spaceship! In a @CadburyUK hot chocolate tin. #science

Our ROAM2 lasted 3h 20m in the freezer and recorded the most boring video ever. Next up, insulation. #science @contour_cam

Just put our ROAM2 camera in the freezer to test -25C temperatures vs. battery life. @contour_cam #science
