Balloon

Over at hack613 we’re doing a space program so I’ve got balloons on my mind. Also I like things that fly too.

I’m working on an art project concept involving floating balloons with messages in them. Perhaps a message recipient scans it with their cell phone and we get the coordinates and learn how far the balloon went. Or perhaps we see if the recipient can relay the message. Or perhaps we can see if it’s possible to get a message to a specific address or person.

Of course there’s the usual idea of sending a camera to space… what would you do?

 

For that we’d need to get the SFOC from transport plus figure out how to get the data back.
