The Dataz! (Telemetry)
- Accelerometer data. Unfortunately, it looks like there was a bug in the code and the second half of the data overwrote the first. Anyway, here it is. It's 100 samples per second, start time unknown, but it looks like it captures the pop, some freefall, and the landing. [[Media: ]]

Help Wanted:
If you spot something you can handle or wish to learn about, we'd love to have your help. (Seriously, meeting more people like you is major goal of HacDC.)
- Blog about upcoming flight
- Document HacDC Spaceblimp 1 on wiki
- Build primary & secondary beacon antenna
- Altimeter selection & purchase
- Purchase 32 GB SDHC memory card for video
- Build battery pack for video
- Make weatherproof labels/tags for capsule recovery (laminate, 3d print, laser cut, etc.)
- Work on CHDK scripts for still cameras
- Build capsule/rigging/chute
- Vacuum test Geiger counter
- New software for additional sensors (add small μC?)
