Helium high
by maning
Today, we had a balloon mapping experiment. For a very brief airtime, we got some really impressive images.
Selecting and stitching the images took more time.
But, the initial result gave as a much better imagery than what is publicly available.
The crew had a great time. No tangles, no balloon burst and no gear crash!
Of course we did the traditional high-pitch-squeaky talk afterwards. 
Where to next?

Impressive, so you use a ballon within a city? Not sure if this would be legal here in Germany, but I assume, that there were to much barriers, as power lines or other high infrastructure, that would make troubles :/
Yes, the balloon almost tangled with a tall building that kept us nervous by a few minutes. I agree this will be difficult to maneuver in a dense city with tall structures.
Wow! I am impressed! Any chance of some video footage next time?
