[757labs] HackerSpaces in Space 2011

[Steve Nelson]

Two minor ideas...

1) What about a propeller attached to the bottom of the balloon. As it
rises, the propeller spins, charging the battery. We could use a smaller
battery.

2) Could we control the descent using a combination of GPS
signal+accelerometer+compass that moves a wing, kind of like those
parachuters that attach snowboards to their feet? and/or shorten/lengthen
the strings on the parachute.

How badass would it be if the balloon landed one mile away?
