CAENHAB

The purpose of this web site is to act as a central repository for information relating to our project to successfully launch, track and recover a High Altitude Balloon or HAB for short. This is a hobby that is springing up around the country and thanks to the Raspberry Pi Foundation's Sky Academy is taking off (forgive the pun) in schools. It is a fantastic opportunity to carry out your own DIY near space exploration style mission and have fun whilst learning in all manner of areas along the way... Our Project Between now and the end of the summer term, as a school project, we will be attempting to plan, design, build, launch, fly and retrieve a high altitude balloon. The balloon will carry a payload consisting of items such as a GPS tracker and Raspberry Pi computer, programmed to take photos and video, as.
