John shows off the new GoPro Hero2 camera with the many features that make it ideal
Takeaways:
Report back to the group with progress by 4/3 (one week)
Reach out to University of Minnesota (U of M) balloon team for info (blog, arrange a meeting)
Research balloon options
Research Spot GPS options, make purchasing recommendation
Create a site on the Hub once we are up and running
Research hydrogen/helium options, find someone who will sell us a tank of go-go gas
Figure out image correction in Photoshop CS6 for using GoPro cameras as both video and still cameras
Research requirements for added electronics for subsequent flights (ham license, real-time down-link, etc.)
Build blog or website for documenting the project
Reach out to Mike C from the rocket club to find out where he bought the styrofoam sphere for his flying spider
Research FAA rules, and determine our need for a radar reflector. When do we need to fly one?
Research insurance requirements/options/costs. If needed: Does any of our current insurance cover us? How much for a policy to cover each flight?
