How I Sent My Satellite To SPACE - Part 2

[@HanshaniLavanya1]

It's amazing to see such a small youtuber making the best videoes in the world

[@FLALabs]

Thanks so much!!

[@johnnylego807]

This is so unbelievably cool. How did I just find this channel. 🤯 brilliant young man

[@FLALabs]

I'm glad you found us and that you liked our video! Subscribe and share with a friend to help us grow!

[@humanbetterthanai]

One of the best thing ever!

[@FLALabs]

I appreciate it!

[@Nuke-MarsX]

amazing. im not a expert but do you think its possible for you to get something launched into LEO like go to spacex and ask them, would that work? might be expensive tho😅

[@FLALabs]

Absolutely! It's called ride-share and it's possible but difficult and expensive!

[@Nuke-MarsX]

@@FLALabs I just looked it up 300k. Yeah that's a bit much😅

[@apostolosapostolou3157]

Very good job!! Did you transmitted any live data other than GPS Location? How did you measured the temperature (what sensor did you use?). And if you transmitted live data how did you do it? With what transmitter/receiver? Thank you. Keep it up!!

[@FLALabs]

I appreciate the feedback! We don't transmit live data with this device (aside from the SPOT GPS tracker that gives us location and altitude for part of the flight). Instead we have an Arduino Mega onboard acting like a logger/flight controller. We have a number of sensors onboard, but the Adafruit MPL3115A2-I2C Barometric Pressure/Altitude/Temperature sensor [ADA1893] collects all of our weather data. We hope to add live data transmission in the future by partnering with a local HAM radio operator that can teach us how!

[@azad4503]

Dude , dont tell me you just did that . Respect+++++

[@FLALabs]

We sure did! What a fun/challenging project!

[@aslans]

Question: what was the distance from your launch site and landing site? How long you had to drive? I appreciate your answer in advance thank you so much!

[@FLALabs]

Typically we travel 80 or so miles and the drive time to find it is about 1.5 hours!

[@bilnetrov]

Hey! Do you need any FAA permission for this type of projects? And which type of GPS module did you use for your project? Thanks!

[@FLALabs]

We file a NOTAM with the FAA before every launch. As for tracking, we use an off-the-shelf SPOT Trace GPS. Cheers!

[@spiritualveda7828]

Hey your Project is awesome But I want to purchase balloon from where I should buy

[@FourTwentyLt]

Why it didn't enter the orbit and went right back down? What if you lift it up that much and shot some type of firework? Maybe it would stay there and function as it supposed to? 😊

[@FLALabs]

Look Up a Rockoon! The idea has been tested and it was awesome!

[@asthapandit7600]

How did you make it

[@FLALabs]

All the orange pieces of the balloon rig are 3D printed and the circuit sculpture is made by soldering wire and components in specific orientations!

[@kunjpoddar9f256]

Hey man.. do you need permission from the gov and did you get into any trouble?

[@FLALabs]

We file a NOTAM (notice to airmen) through the FAA before every flight. This is not strictly required if you follow FAA guidelines, but it is safer for local pilots and prevents incident!

[@Splattervision-qh1sd]

Very cool. It just missed those power lines, the road, didn’t land in someone’s yard, etc. Couldn’t have asked for a better landing.

[@AdityaSharma-kp6te]

Can you please try to put one in the orbit if it's possible

[@FLALabs]

I would love to put one in orbit. Unfortunately, it's not possible with a balloon! Even if we could get it high enough, we couldn't propell the payload fast enough to maintain orbit!

[@AdityaSharma-kp6te]

@@FLALabs well that makes sense

[@thinkcasting3182]

@@FLALabs A small burn unit of pressurized RP-1 and LOX shouldn't be too much weight. There are about 3500 abandoned satellites that you could choose from to perform a collide and hook maneuver. Once you're up to speed, blast the hook off.

[@FLALabs]

If we could solve that engineering challenge (removal of space debris), we would all be rich!

[@yrii_67]

put a satellite in rocket and put a rocket in baloon HAHAHHAHA

[@FLALabs]

Sounds a bit like what Virgin Galactic is doing, I like it!

[@youtubenews233]

What’s the purpose you launched the satellite?

[@FLALabs]

Two reasons: 1) To test the circuit and see if it would continue to operate in the near-space environment 2) To test/grow our launch capabilities www.AnnexLaunch.com

[@taimoorneutron2940]

Air traffic issue? And any accident can happen through plane how do u avoid all? And your govt allow t?

[@FLALabs]

As a free-flying balloon, I do not have the ability to maneuver, so I have the right-of-way and it is the responsibility of aircraft pilots to avoid collisions. I am only required to file a notice to airmen with the FAA before each launch.

[@azamraza2141]

Amazing 👏

[@FLALabs]

Glad you think so!

[@themisk.3843]

Hey mate, what altitude did you get? Is it possible you think to achieve orbit with that method?

[@FLALabs]

Our altitude on that flight was over 100,000 feet! Unfortunately, it would take a rocket to get to orbit because you need a crazy amount of speed and a LOT more altitude!

[@karthikeyansridharan2573]

How can build satellite coding space course

[@FLALabs]

We used arduino for this proj3ct and learned everything through online examples/projects that we then modified to suit our needs!

[@restfulcube-notyet]

do you know the total cost of items for this project? i'm just an everyday dude that really wants to do something like this

[@FLALabs]

I sure do! Shoot me an email: [e-mail]

[@TABACIR]

I have an idea: Why don’t we develop solid-fuel rocket with range of 100 kilometers and put the satellite in orbit for a short period? Is this idea possible or am crazy? hope for response. Thank you. appreciate your effort.😂❤

[@FLALabs]

That is a fun idea, and yes it has been done! Look up rockoon on Google, you won't be disappointed!

Thanks! We had fun with the logo AND with the project!

[@liponarani1825]

Good intro!

[@FLALabs]

Thank you Lipona Rani!

[@bensweeney5878]

I wonder if anyone has tried to send their own rover to the moon like this. I don't know exactly how high it would need to go, but perhaps one could in theory build a small rocket, balloon it up, and fire it at the moon with a rocket that can burn in space and send a little rc car type rover there

[@FLALabs]

That would be a very cool project!

[@bensweeney5878]

@@FLALabs plus if you consider how available python, rhasberry pi, and 3D printing is, I'm sure it could be done by a normal person!

[@WillKMB]

Already existed, they were called rockoons and they didn’t work. They were launched as government projects, so no a normal person could not get that to work, let alone to the moon

[@Rameshkanu1]

Truly inspiring..

[@FLALabs]

Thank you!

[@bmalamin]

Good

[@FLALabs]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@Waterbottle959]

Put a rocket on the balloon and once it gets high enough launch it

[@funnymandre]

Wouldn't the satellite caught on fire coming back into the Earth? I mean would it

[@FLALabs]

Only if the satellite were at orbital speed (about 17,000 mph) and reentering earth's atmosphere. Since our balloons don't completely leave earth's atmosphere and move very slowly, they don't heat up when they gall back to Earth!

[@NRGODKING]

You never reached space the Kármán line is at 330,000 feet

[@FLALabs]

That's very true! You can never get to space with just a balloon 🎈

i want to sent my satelite - I am a hamradio operator.

[@FLALabs]

I've always wanted to become a ham radio operator!

[@pu4cac-redfox532]

@@FLALabs I absolutely love being a hamradio operator! A satellite can be heard almost worldwide with low transmission power, and I'd be thrilled to launch one, especially if it could stay in a geostationary orbit. I'll explore what's available here in Brazil that matches what you suggested in the video. I’ll also try to document the entire process. It's an honor to know you!

[@kuku68578]

I also want to.

[@FLALabs]

It's lots of challenging fun!

[@luarbiasawaras8700]

Your work is great but thats not orbiting the earth thus technically its not a satelite

[@FLALabs]

Technically it didn't go to space either... It's a "satellite circuit sculpture" that we sent up to "near space".

[@luarbiasawaras8700]

@@FLALabs yes you are rigt, you need to go to the space to orbit the earth, but things that goes to the space does not have to be orbiting the earth, like the ballistic missiles , it goes to the space, but not orbitting the earth, so we can not call ballistic missiles as satelites.

I was only kidding before... the earth is absolutely NOT flat. I believe there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. However, I also think it's important to keep things "light and polite" online!
