Flight #4: Air Photos
Images were taken at 2 minute intervals. The balloon was launched from a farm near Northwood, ND, and recovered by Gently, MN. The flight lasted two hours, but there was only enough film for the first 72 minutes. This flight carried two cameras, one pointing straight down and the other horizontally out the side. Each camera was loaded with a 36 exposure roll of 100 ASA Kodak color print film. Each camera was tested with a ground exposure, and the horizontal camera took an aditional picutre when I was calibrating the servo. None the less, the horizontal camera took a couple less photos than expected. If the malfunction was due to a frozen camera, servo, etc. is not currently known.Calculations put the altitude of the highest picture at 85,945 feet.
Vertical and horizontal images are shown together, each pair being taken at one specific time (for example, the vertical shot of the blue tarp, red fill hose, and foot of the launch person was taken at the same time as the horizontal shot of the three chase team members and the high-tech launch support vehicle).
