Stratos High Altitude Balloon Launch During the 2017 Solar Eclipse

Fleet--

When you say' livestream'.... do you mean 'Mevo'? from 'Livestream'?

I am familiar with Livestream at a professional level

 

Chip,
If you add $25 more dollars to the go fund me account that has already acknowledged your donation of $250 I will donate $275.

 

Sure!

I am doing it via paypal, so it may take a bit of time for James or Fleet to list it on the gofundme account...

 

I just did it on the site, it must take a while to update?

 

Possibly... just did the $25 on paypal.

I think u R on there nw, Fred

Are you catching the eclipse?

I will be somewhere between Bowling Green KY and Nashville, subject to WX. Have a family farm in KY, but off 30 miles from totality:-(

I did CC on the site, and the transaction just now showed up.

 

Maybe, I have a billboard on I40 in Tenn and it might be a good reason to check it out!!! According to the map that will be a prime location.

 

I'll check with you B4 and see if we can sked an eyeball QSO

Thank you very much for your generous support!!!

I was using the word in the concept of having a camera in the payload and having it transmit live video to the ground where it is streamed to the internet. I am not 100% sure what platform we will be using on the eclipse day, but we will have it on at least one streaming service.
