We launch the camera 360 ° into space


Well, not really into space, but to the stratosphere for sure. In this article, the wizard will tell you how to launch a balloon with a 360 camera, but warns that everything must be agreed with the local authorities.
Let's watch a short video.



Tools and materials:


-Camera Insta 360;




-Gloves;
-Helium;
-Libra;

Step One: Material Selection
When choosing materials, the task was to make the probe as light and small as possible. There are ready-made kits for sale, for example, Eagle Pro Weather Balloon Kit. This is not the cheapest probe ($ 750), but its personal on-board computer allows you to measure temperature, altitude and wind speed.
The master went his own way assembled the kit as cheaply as possible.

Weather balloon.
He used a probe weighing 300 grams. Weather balloons are measured mainly by their weight. The size of the probe depends on the weight of the payload and factors such as the height of the ball's explosion (or the height by which it rises before damage) and the flight time.

Parachute.
The speed of the descent will depend on the size of the parachute. In this case, the master wanted her to be about 5 meters per second. Since the weight of the laden cargo will be about 1 kilogram, the master selects a parachute about a meter in diameter.

Camera.
You can use a regular GoPro camera, but the master wanted to, I wanted to get 360 frames, so he chose Insta360 One X.

GPS tracker.
A GPS tracker is needed to track the location of the probe during flight and, most importantly, after landing. Some use an old cell phone with integrated GPS for this purpose.

Box.
The master uses a box of heat-insulating material.

Fishing line.
To tie the payload to the parachute, and the parachute to the balloon, the master uses a fishing line.

External battery.
A battery is used to power the camera and GPS tracker.

Nitrile gloves.
To prevent sweat marks (which can lead to damage to the ball), the master uses gloves.



Step Two: Build
The master used a foam box. He put a battery and a GPS tracker in a box. He made four holes in the walls of the box. Along the box, I installed a selfie stick with a camera on the end. Across the box mounted a wooden stick. Such a crosshair will prevent the box from flipping over upon landing. This is important for the GPS tracker to work properly.


After assembly, it is necessary to weigh the box with the equipment + parachute.

Step Three: Flight Rules
Next, the wizard provides some requirements for the launch of the probe.Although these rules are international, the master emphasizes that local rules need to be harmonized and guided by.

In the United States, if the weight of the cargo is less than 4 pounds (1814.37 g), and the rope can withstand 50 pounds (22.6796 kg) to break, then such a ball can be launched by private individuals. Of course notifying the relevant service.

In particular, notifying the air traffic controller 6-24 hours before launch and inform the following:
Start Date / Time
Launch place
Estimated time to reach maximum height
Expected Flight Duration
Estimated landing place
Probe diameter
Weight and length of the payload.

Before starting, you need to find the optimal start location. It is best to make sure that the launch and landing sites are outside the aircraft landing and take-off zone. You can check it on the site.

Step Four: Calculations
To understand how high the balloon will rise, how fast it will move and where it will land approximately, you need to know its lift.

The master used.

Using a calculator, its lifting force is calculated, how much helium should be used to refuel the ball. Using this data, you can simulate a landing zone. To do this, the wizard uses the site. This flight simulator can run up to 400 different versions, which will vary depending on conditions.



Step Five: Launch
The master fixes the tube on the gearbox. The second end of the tube is placed in the neck of the ball. According to calculations, it is necessary to fill the ball with helium so that its lifting force is 3.1 kg. After filling with helium, the neck is bandaged.

A rope is tied to the ball, then a parachute, then a box. The distance between them is 1.2 m.




Now you can start the probe.



Step Six: Flight
The GPS tracker will send a signal approximately every 5 minutes. To save battery power, it will not send new signals if the device has not moved. The wizard tracked the position of the probe using the application on the smartphone. The screenshot shows that at some point the signal stopped coming. This probe rose to a height from which the signal did not pass.

As soon as the probe reached a certain height, the ball burst and descent began. And again the signal went from the tracker.

The probe flew 200 miles (321.869 km) and landed in the wasteland.



The wizard provided several videos. The first is placed at the beginning of the article and you can see a small video of the flight on it. Below are two videos. On the first, the process of calculations, assembly, launch, on the second video you can see the entire flight, including the moment of landing.


By the way, when viewing a flight video, you can change the viewing angle.

Korolev,
I once wrote to you in a booze that the rocket from my city to yours does not fly for long, you won’t have time to shave. xaxa

Korolev,
I hope they understood that a missile with a nuclear warhead? Don’t worry, humor is rushed. Let the aliens study this gift.
R555,
with advice minisrow......
Well, right to the point! xaxa good
Pronin,
When I worked at our plant "Electrosignal" (declassified by the KGB) of the USSR with a council of ministers ....... we had our own caretaker (like in the zone) And there was high demand from me as a traffic controller. We not only made telly, but also stony radios


Then there were several cars standing in front of us .... (I will deliberately suppress) The military and all

And it was allowed to steal components .... but only those that do not go to the defense industry.
Korolev,
here you open to people your most ingenious thoughts, and in response to you: "Tie with a booze, drunk!"
Oh, sorry for me at the wrong time threw a lasso,
I would suck a glass, and to the Vatican
V.S. Vysotsky
R555,
It’s you Accutane ... shoot down targets at an altitude of 10 km from the Earth ... shoot down objects higher than the 3rd floor ... they brought oranges to the debater ...... To the morgue
I used to be very enraged at one time, here you open up your most ingenious thoughts to people, and in response to you: "Tie with a booze, drunk!" boss

New Standard,
-Well, they damn stupid, well, stupid ... would rather look at them ..
I see another scenario: something is wrong here, this is a trap, we must eliminate them all! To "Voyager" this applies in the first place! xaxa
I am particularly indignant when we Russians and Germans played in exercises.
And when I met you, friendship ended
Reshet not only from machine guns, but with a cannon gun (AVIATION)
Khatul Madan,
This is you Accutane
SPPC stage is the echelon on the Yarels steel and on the kazhny wagon and (on the roof) sits with his gun on the Koelni (from Ukraine to the taiga)
Joke? I am familiar with the order-makers of nga-zones ...
Khatul Madan,
I read what you wrote to me. Of course, you can’t play old guitars. You need to learn music literacy

Although my friend (bass) without knowledge of notes looks great on stage.
Quote: New Standard

I agree that you should not expect anything good from aliens. You can compare with humanity, imagine that the Spanish conquistadors sailed to the Incas and atteks not by themselves, later ....

You project our understanding and vision, etc., onto some interstellar civilizations. Which it is not clear what they consist of and what they think there and so on.
But, they can possess these powerful radio pulses ... And they will see (or feel) some of our "messages of friendship." For them, it will be an incomprehensible signal of some cancer cell from the Sun-star. The already directed beam of this radio pulse (which is as powerful as our Sun for 1000 years of radiation !!) from the nearest repeater will incinerate our solar system ... Together with the Sun and the surrounding planets (including the Earth) RIP
R555,
You are more careful there with relaxation, otherwise your comments resemble this:
Khatul Madan,
Relax
An instruction was received from the Chief Person to shoot down targets at an altitude of 10 km from the Earth. But I don’t have such a weapon.
Ivan_Pokhmelev,
I want to tell everyone a simple truth. Do not look at how to spin the table in the microwave.
50 mW in the waveguide and you are blind
When I warm my food in my Korean and Belarusian, I hide behind the interior wall of a Soviet brick
R555,
Khatul Madan,
We had then (and now) a secret leadership
Shoot down objects exceeding the height of the 3rd floor.

What does this apply to? Did you visit the girl again?
Khatul Madan,
We had then (and now) a secret leadership
Shoot down objects exceeding the height of the 3rd floor.
Valery,
By the way, about the fight with bears. A friend told me. Our (Russian) men argued that a bear with a horn can be overwhelmed, as in old times. And they didn’t argue about the moonshine bubble, the Mercedes car.

Bears have such a feature, maybe someone does not know. It rises to its full height and with its claw paw hits the skull

That man lost the battle with the bear. The animal opened his skull. Those who shot the bear were present, then they brought oranges to the debater ...... To the morgue boss
Valery,
The site has the ability to edit your comment. But for a limited time. 5 minutes, sort of. And it has already helped me several times when the computer or the provider has brakes. Once 2 comments and 2 duplicates of them almost went to the site xaxa
Pronin,R555,Ivan_Pokhmelev
I agree that you should not expect anything good from aliens.You can compare with humanity, imagine that the Spanish conquistadors sailed to the Incas and atteks not on their own, but later, but after the South Americans sent them a message, there’s so much in the bottle in the Amazon delta, we have a lot gold, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, if you swim, we are not at peace with anyone, and we don’t have weapons ...

The conquistadors would have been fucked up and had fallen for Americans on an inflatable boat in economy class, T-shirts, shorts and with only one saber and thoughts: -Well, they are dumb, well, dumb ... I’d rather look at them ... Although if you throw a lot of messages , then they can also the British, the Portuguese then get all interrupted among themselves).

One way or another, regardless of the development of civilization, the more developed one is trying to enslave the less developed, there is always a battle for resources and profit.

40 years ago there weren’t voluminous storage media, now they probably would have launched a golden smartphone, on which video to rotate without stopping and sooner or later someone will notice by flying
Khatul Madan,
Some strange glitch of the site, probably ... I clicked the "quote" button above your post about Turgenev ... And then I inserted the quote "three fives"))))
For some reason, it was duplicated on top, replacing your ....

For bears it’s more effective than just from PM.)))))

. And Gararin was killed in vain
I did not say that! I do not need to ascribe other people's statements.
The German grenades were distinguished by a long delay. Toli case pulled the check with F (lemons) and sit in the shelter for 3.5 seconds. What to hide, the soldier has fear when using a grenade. Therefore, we Russian and Chinese have cases that a grenade flies into its own trench.

When they trained me, advised me, threw a lemon and after 6 seconds tear off the fire from improvised weapons.
Valery,
Well yes. I still think so. Gararin then became an Authority, drank with the leadership of the country. And in the style of the genre it was necessary to kill him ..... The greatest pioneer of Cosmos.

New Standard,
When I worked in private security companies, we had a secret order to take fire to destroy air targets .. I applied this 2. The copter was the FSB. I was not arrested then. But they warned. xaxa boss

R555,
These guys usually come dressed in civilian clothes and just knock on the door. Although drunk in the ass, he is obliged to inspire them. Otherwise upset on the spot boss
But when our soviet (destroyers) pilots ran into a real battle, it didn’t seem enough .......
I showed you a video how a fighter sends a combat grenade to a target. but the instructor saves him.
Boys do not piss, pulled out a check and threw it.
I urge not to strike at your
I think the aliens hose suitable for our Russian woman
But only with my personal control xaxa boss xaxa

THE FIGHTER DIDN'T CORRECTLY THROW THE Grenade
R555,
Only once did a teacher of literature shame me at school for writing I. S. Turgenev with a soft sign; since then I have not made mistakes in his name. You at least read the caption under the video, and do not distort the surname, have respect for a famous person.
Khatul Madan,
And why did the natives eat Cook?
WHY ARE ABORIGENS BORNING A COOK? VYSOTSKY. B. C.
R555,
For some reason, I thought that our generation even from a wild hangover knows both the middle name and the "correct spelling" of the name of the poet, actor and bard V.S. Vysotsky.
Pronin,
Listen to the song of V. Vysotsky
ABOUT GIRAFFES
R555,
I think you know why our air defense systems have changed into space ones.

Yes, but I’m policewoman. This is to make the West closer and clearer dance2
P. S. And Gararin was killed in vain

He also thought so before, but the data on his 1 flight with after-flight photos (?) And he wanted to assert himself as a Ph.D. and higher ...
And here is Titov G.S. he shot on an imported video camera and TP fixation of flight !. And he descended by parachute ... near the railway
Pronin,
I think you know why our air defense systems have changed into space ones. There is already a threat of satellites falling on their own or others with all the ensuing consequences

P. S. And Gararin was wasted for nothing, they brought the mother’s funeral.

Dmitrij,
I think that Gagarin was eliminated. What the hell was he flying on that MIG? He would have to collect students, future astronauts.
And this model flight for confirmation of qualification did not need a MAN OPEN SPACE in FIG.
A 115-slide gramophone is certainly ridiculous. xaxa
At one time, all kinds of radio messages were sent into space ...
Wait, the understanding has come that the Cosmos is hostile to us. And we, with our unique Earth, are a fragile grain of sand. And it’s better not to arise ...
Astronomers using a radio telescope detect short radio bursts from remote areas of the cosmos. Duration of several ms. And power as the radiation of our Sun for a thousand years. The physical phenomenon that causes them is unknown.
Khatul Madan,
Due to this coincidence of dates, the prosecutors, FSB officers, traffic cops and other order holders congratulate me ...
But, it happened, in my DR no one congratulated me. Then I took a girl from the street ....
Khatul Madan,
I'm not ashamed. Date of his death = my birthday. I spent the night with a woman today, so I can confuse a little.

song of V.V. Vysotsky
I am ashamed not to know how to correctly spell the name of Vladimir Semenovich!

instructions for playing and description of video encoding
I wonder what language and alphabet? I hope at least the range of visual perception of "them" is the same as ours!
Korolev, there is attached a needle, instructions for playing and a description of the encoding of the video signal. A group led by Karl Sagan worked on a technique for all this.
New Standard,
and they know our Earth and start that is not good
To begin with, they will have to invent a gramophone, well, or what can be read there
gold-plated video disc. There are 115 slides on the disk, on which the most important scientific data, types of the Earth, its continents, various landscapes, scenes from the life of animals and humans, their anatomical structure and biochemical structure, including the DNA molecule, are collected.
xaxa
R555,
We launched the ego in 1977, then it has been flying for 43 years, during that time probably more than one kind of aliens read that gold plate, damn it, people really didn’t think of the consequences, who will have to think how to defend themselves and, what’s the main thing?)

I also recalled that a US military man was either stealing home or working in a warehouse, and he took out a rocket accelerator. I hooked it to the roof of my car, I thought to go fast. But he drove very fast, flew into the air from the asphalt and crashed into a rock, a car in a flat cake
New Standard,
Not ssy, our smell will reflect the invasion of aliens on the way. I already had a hand in this matter. boss
R555,
I read a similar story, the essence is this: the police were chasing the gansters, and those who were supposed to be drug lords were in a car with low clearance and ultra-thin tires like Ferrari. The pursuit went over rough terrain and in front of them appeared a water barrier 300 or 400 meters wide.The bandits, without thinking for a long time, press the gas pedal all the way from the rogue and “fly over” the water barrier, and the police stop and go nuts. In principle, such a flight is possible due to the creation of an air cushion between the wide, flat bottom of the car and the water, so I think the truth
Dmitrij,
Valery, as usual, writes that it is not necessary to press the trigger but the trigger ... Shutter (bracket) Henry! xaxa
R555,
Yes, I remember that mission called "Voyager" recently heard the news that it is still flying, and has already gone beyond the boundary of the Solar System. Many paleocontact theorists wish they launched it. After all, imagine that he will stumble upon aggressive aliens, and they will know our Earth and start what is not good.

Pronin,
That altitude vryat exceeds 30 km. For 40 km, you need a slightly different heliostat of a different structure and with a supply of volume, as it expands. But this height with a stretch can be called space, it’s just the stratosphere, and space conditionally begins at 100 km

It’s IL now, and when I worked in private security companies, there were real PMs. And the inspector came to us unexpectedly ... boss

R555,
2 PM and 1 Saiga carbine
- probably IL and not PM. As far as I know, PM in PSCs are not allowed. Allowed in departmental guards of the Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Transport, etc.

Khatul Madan,
You didn’t take someone else’s carbine to leave, although the private security company is not an army, it is probably allowed there.
no, not allowed.
New Standard,
And how do you like Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev’s speech in 1960?
Khrushchev_1960 year

Khatul Madan,
Even in private security companies it was possible to establish by arms who shot and our cartridges were strictly counted (we double-checked each other).
One asshole worked for us, so he decided to play cowboys on duty. With PM. He didn’t drive a bullet into himself, but just when his COMRADE, A FRIEND entered the duty door on duty after going around the territory, a 9 mm bullet pierced his arm and leg, he sank slowly to the floor and lost consciousness.

Then we judged this scum that shot our, our comrade.
