April 26, 2019 at 12:30Space Data Center. Video report from launch
As you recall, on April 12, on Cosmonautics Day, our small server successfully flew into the stratosphere! During the flight, the server aboard the stratospheric balloon distributed the Internet, shot and transmitted video and telemetry data to the ground.
For an hour or so, our web server flew to an altitude of 22,700 meters, flew 70 km, survived the temperature drop from +25 0 С to -60 0 С and received 125 messages from hawkers. Different messages came to the stratosphere: romantics confessed their love, offended interest holders asked to intercede for them, animal lovers searched for cats and dolphins at an altitude of 22 kilometers, there was an advertisement, but without it. Greetings and congratulations on Cosmonautics Day came from Belarus, Ukraine, the Urals, Siberia, Sakhalin, Novorossiysk, Yaroslavl, Gomel, Bryansk.
In the pastPublications, we summed up the project, showed a small online record from the probe and promised to show the full video of the flight. We present videos from two onboard cameras with all the messages received from you, the current height and coordinates on the monitors.
A little background and useful links, for those who missed everything:
In a previous post about launching, Javian wanted to learn about how sound changes in the stratosphere, so we decided not to lay music on these videos, listen, enjoy the silence and the wind.

During the flight of the server, we held a contest among Habr users, in which it was necessary to guess the location of the probe landing. More than 600 hawkers took part in the competition.
The closest was Vlad vvzvlad , he guessed the point with an accuracy of 1 kilometer. Vlad won our main prize a trip to Baikonur, we are preparing documents for sending it to launch the Soyuz manned spacecraft on July 20 and are waiting for a report post about the trip.
The second place was taken by MikiRobot , his forecast was a little less accurate, 3 km from the landing site. He has already received his prize in our office, congratulations and wish you a pleasant trip.
Points of the rest20 winners were removed from 4 to 12 kilometers from the probe landing site. We are waiting for you on an excursion to Star City in May. Who did not answer our messages, please contact us soon in our VKontakte group or write in a personal message on Habré.

A little background and useful links, for those who missed everything:
- A post on how to coordinate the flight of the probe into the stratosphere (which we encountered in practice at launch).
- As we did the “ iron part ” of the project - for fans of geek porn, with details and code.
- The project website , where it was possible to monitor the movement of the probe and telemetry in real time.
- Comparison of space communication systems that we used in the project.
- Text translation of the server launch into the stratosphere.
- The results of the experiment
