Re: [UKHAS] Advice needed for Space Launch

Hi Rachel,

I run one of the two sites you mention (the one near Elsworth) - we are in fact launching from there this weekend - so if a couple of you want to come along and spectate that will be fine.  Drop me a line or give me a call - details below.

Hi all,

 

As part of an employee engagement strategy my company (Travis Perkins) has set the IT department the challenge of creating a team to take a photoghraph of the curvature of the Earth. The overall aim is to raise as much money for our designated charities as possible in the process (Alzheimers Society and SANDS Northampton), oh and we need to complete this and provide the results by our Summer Ball in the middle of July!

 

I would love to say I was an eager volunteer but as a non technical team member I could not even begin to comprehend how this was possible. The UKHAS website has been amazing and our team is now more than 30 strong with a 'build' sub team delving in to the finer technical details. It mentioned on the website that UKHAS had blanket permissions to launch from two sites in Cambridge and we were wondering if we would be able to use one of these sites and how we would go about that?

 

We would also love to come along to a launch and pick your brains talking through some ideas. We would gladly be roped in if needed to support a launch and get some first hand experience of what we're letting ourselves in to. This would only be a part of the team so you would not be bombarded with 30 people on mass. Do you know whether anyone has a launch coming up that we could tag along to?

 

Look forward to hearing from you

Steve,

There are two launches on Sat. Both on 434.650, chrisstubbs' NSE and CHEAPO at 09:30 BST-ISH and AURA at Approx 11:15 BST-ISH

Just in case you weren't aware

Thanks Adrian,

These are the flights that PeteA announced yesterday.  We are now planning on launching at 3:30 tomorrow - so we should clear frequency use by the other flights.  It'll be like a relay race with the other 2 flights (all using 434.650).  I may also launch one of my own flights if I have time.

Paperwork shortly.
