I think I have possibly found a new obsession and a way of standardizing the payload aspect of my quadcopter obsession with my new desire to try out HAB.

 

I stumbled upon a youtuber who launched a balloon into near space after watching a number of his videos I was then introduced to the concept of a CubeSat. Wikipedia as informed me that a CubeSat is a standardized around a 10cm cube weighing 1.33kg known as a 1u CubeSat. To do the conversion its a ~2" cube weighing ~3lbs.

 

I am not sure what my new obsession actually is, trying out HAB or finding as many things as possible to attach a 2" cube to.

Jason Perry Thanks :)  Best of luck with your build.  Hope my videos help in some way.  Cheers

Eric William -MKme Tech, I think the best part was finding how easy it is to launch in Canada. Whenever I do build I will probably launch out your way so it isnt that far of a drive home. Great videos, they demystified HAB for me and mad me feel confident I can do it too.

Jason Perry That is fantastic feedback.  Entirely why I made the huge video series- in hopes others could enjoy as well.  PS Air Traffic Control is AMAZING to deal with.  Even though you don't technically need to file a NOTAM - do it.  It is one more level of safety for all.  Was an awesome experience.  Cheers
