Here in Farsund we are developing HAB (High Altitude Ballooning) as an educational tool where students use standard weather balloons to put small payloads typically 100g-1kg into “near space” at altitudes of around 30km or so, carrying a tracking device (so the balloon position is known throughout the flight) and usually some sensors (temperature, pressure etc) and often a video or stills camera storing to an SD card for later retrieval.
Now we are planning our fourth mission in May 2014 and are investigating various platforms including Rasberry Pi and wireless sensor tags for communication.
