Meeting Notes for 2011.02.06[edit]
Participants
- Onno - Brian - Christopher
Started the meeting with giving Onno a walk though of the current state of the project. Outlined what equipment we are using, and what equipment we are planning on replacing.
Equipment being replaced
- Camera - Radio transmitter - open tracker - GPS puck - antena - Payload bus
Brian gave an update of the new APRS equipment
Onno is interested in adding a live video feed to our payload. Looked at the Adeptco.com transmitters. It draws alot of power, so batteries for it will add alot of weight. Possible solutions would be to add a pressure sencor to turn it off at a certin altitud and then back on at a certine altitude for live launch and decent vedio.
- the module is 50 grams, the lithium battery should be about 90 grams. - Use the android phone to loop the radio call sign as an audio output, route this to the video transmitter to keep call sign broadcasted.
Project status
Camera: Blake has purchsed one new camera for the project, and has started to port the CHDK.
APRS System: Brain has purchased the nessicary parts, but has not started the build process
Video Feed: Still in planning stage
Payload Bus: on hold tell equipment list is finalized

Short meeting today Onno had the new video equipment delivered. Mirco analog camera with transmitter. We set up the camera and testing the image quality, if I may say so, this is going to be awesome! We are missing a power source for the transmitter, we will have to get a y cable to get power from the camera battery later.
Talked a little bit about hydrogen generation, but shelved the discussion for after our next launch. Not enough time to get anything worked on before then.
