KinnerSat I - The 1st Kinnernet Satellite (Yariv Bash, Achi Krauz and Naama Levy)

  • * * * If you found our balloon, let us know where it landed :-) We'd really love to know how far it got, you can keep the cool electronics ! email us to kinnernet.balloon@gmail.com * * *

    What is it ? 

  • For the 1st (that we know of) time in Israel, a high altitude helium ballon (more than 30 km) transmitting live images and it's own location !

  • This is the actual flight path, as was transmitted in real time from our ballooon, the part in blue is a prediction of the rest of its flight after communication was lost (due to loss of line of sight)

  •  

  • Balloon data was being monitored in real time at our "control station", with GPS positioning and live imagery.
  • The balloon traveled over 160km and reached well over 20 km in height.
  • We estimate it had a smooth landing in east Jordan, around 130km from the Iraqi border.
  • A few images from the balloon camera:

  • You can download the google earth KMZ file with the pictures:
