757 Labs in Space;

     Is there any interest in doing this?  If so, 
I'd like to send up an experiment to measure the 
change in gravity.  I have everything I need to 
get started (triple axis accelerometer, 
microcontroller, data logger, rough schematic, 
rough code outline) except some assurance that we 
will fly again this year.  Time permitting, I'd 
also like to measure the increase in efficiency of solar cells in Near Space.


     Good Luck!
     Ken_S.
