SPOTs in [near] Space
If you were a high school student on summer vacation before heading to college and you had a little extra time and some Sun SPOTs, what would you do? How about sending a Sun SPOT to near space?
The whole project is chronicled here: http://hibal.org/missions/apteryx/
They have made their source code available here: http://kenai.com/projects/hibal-spot
Hmmm.... It reminds me a bit of another project
