I've been working on a similar project with my kids only we're using an Arduino for the flight computer.
Our goal is 30,500m of altitude with complete radio tracking via APRS. This means that anyone with internet access and the callsign for the balloon will be able to track the balloon's flight in real time via the internet. |

| Or a gigapixel surveillance sensor made from 368 cell phone cameras. |

Well, cell phone camera chips, but repurposed and not actuallly installed in phones ... but pretty interesting anyway!

The 1.8-gigapixel sensor has four optical telescopes, each with 92 5-megapixel focal-plane arrays - cellphone camera chips, says BAE. The airborne processor combines the video output from all 368 arrays together to create a single mosaic image, with an update rate of 12-15 frames a second. |
