Today wasn't as productive as days past, but we've sorted out various logistical issues involving the parachute and actual balloon. Goldstein located a company that we can purchase the actual parachute from... which I believe is mentioned in an earlier post... After navigating this site we discovered our first potential problem... The size parachute we need. We are currently trying to decide between a chute that supports a nine pound apparatus, and a 6.5 pound apparatus. There is a considerable range in diameter between these two chutes which poses a big problem. The larger chute will cause the load to accelerate more slowly, which would make it more susceptible to drifting farther away from the launch site. The smaller chute on the other hand will have a faster descent, but may harm the camera and such upon landing. This is the prominent debate as of now. Along with this Kevin found a potential back up camera, and cheap hand warmers. Marc located a boost mobile phone which could be considered for the GPS. As of now we are in good shape financially as all these items are relatively inexpensive. Our focus going into tomorrow should be on figuring out an actual weight of all the equipment we will have in the apparatus, to put the problem of parachute size to bed.
