We are blogging on how to integrate two commercial off the shelf cameras into a high altitude balloon payload that will reach 120,000 feet in September 2007 (our previous flight HASP-GeoCam 2006 led to the stitching of 4 GB of image data led to maps shown here). The reasons for this project can be found here.
In the current project, GeoCam is a reflight of last year's GeoCam flight (same camera and objectives) while HyperGeoCam is a new payload trying to obtain hyperspectral images from an off-the shelf camera using a mathematical framework called Compressed Sensing.
