Yep, she has an iphone 3G.
I just hope she doesnt return though, just leave her up there in space
Should be a good experiment.

isnt there alternative cameras you can use that are less expensive then your iphone

As long as she has an uncapped data plan it should be OK.
I tend to agree with others that a Flip camera would be a better option in the event of non-survivability (as NASA might put it).

I want to send my mother-in-law into space.

Sounds like fun. But sadly NASA doesn't make Saturn V rockets anymore.

NASA doesn't make much of anything anymore.

There are links on there so you can do it your self as well.

Best of luck to you!

Luke Geissbühler and his son did this recently. Here's his Vimeo page with video describing what they did http://vimeo.com/15091562 If you read the comments he has replied a few times with additional info and has commented on FAA approval and regulations.

Kiss your iPhone goodbye.

Nice input to this thread. Pretty sure the OP is smart enough to understand that his iPhone might not make it out alive.

I am going to be sending up my 32gb iPhone 4 attached inside of a styrafoam cooler to a weatherballoon to record hd video of the earths atmosphere from 90,000ft up. It should take 1.30 - 2 hrs from launch to impact back to the ground.

I will have the styrafoam cooler with newspaper and hand warmers inside to keep the inside temp warm.

I have a SPOT gps messenger just incase of no Cell phone service I will still be able to track it, the SPOT messenger relies on GPS satellites.

Is it true that their is a record limit of 50min at a time? If so is their an app or something to make it record longer?

Also

I will be running mobile me to track the phone also + hd video recording on the phone, with a full battery will it last 2hrs? Or should I make an external battery adapter consisting of 4 AA batteries which I believe is enough for 1 full charge.

Thanks.

Rbai63,


If you haven’t already done it, I would like to be part of this project. I just purchased a Mophie Juice Pack for my iPhone 4 and I think it would come in handy. Do you live in California? If so, please email me. We can also use my final cut software to edit as well.
