flying dog Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 If anyone saw it: The other night on the news a couple of people in England were launching balloons to go into "low earth orbit" with FULL TELEMETRY! You got back REAL TIME videos! They are selling the kits and sending them "all over"....... For about 250 Pounds (English money - not weight). But COULD we buy one and LEGALLY launch one HERE IN OZ?
Ultralights Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 yes, just let air services know where, and when, so they can notam it. and divert traffic if need be. most are launched from way in the outback for this reason.
Birdseye Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Lots of posts on YouTube show how it's done. Note the "low earth orbit" is a figment of a media person's imagination.
