Some cool latest sony laptop computers images:
Sony Video Bay
Image by jurvetson
Given the challenge of the sponsors of the RocketMavericks project to fly more computational power than Apollo, Tom and Dick needed to fit the latest Sony laptop into a cylindrical airframe. And there it is, disemboweled but happily cranking in the center of the video bay.
To the right are four HD cameras at 90° offsets, so a Matrix-like reconstruction can be made after the fact to remove the effects of rocket spin. The camera recording electronics are on the far left. The “laptop” will transmit a sub-sample back to the ground station… just in case we don’t have a perfect flight.
Videorocketry is one of my favorite things, so I can’t wait to see what this captures. I have some simple HD cams planned for the same launch event. Maybe I can be the pace car, as the Beagle IV screams up my tailpipe at Mach 4.

Man…the kid in me would say "take all that stuff out and light that sucker up"…see how it really flies.
Maybe even ditch the chute and just track it optically…
Its only money….
!!
No, you want a chute when you have over a 1000 person hours invested in it!
But, the light-it-up impulse is spot on… T-30 days and counting…
"person hours"……….??
!!
Got your partner to do a little work on it..?
I was speaking to the (kid) impulse….
Actually I suppose these heavier jobbies are less affected by post burnout drag..
propellant is (relatively) cheap…
Awesome. I’m just waiting on you to build a man-rated booster.
working on it..
I can take one at a time in my V-2
talking about small simple HD cams that can be strapped to flying implements – I recently bought a GoPro HD, which I’m very happy with. I would say it’s probably the best ultra-compact HD camera available, the video looks really good, records at 15Mbit/sec and has a 60fps option as well, and a very wide lens. It’s meant to be a helmet or action camera, and comes in with sturdy waterproof case. Weighs about 100grams without the case, or 190g with, so it’s not a major problem to strap it to an airplane (or rocket, I suppose, but I have no idea about payloads on rockets…) I don’t know how it would handle impacts, or if files are recoverable if the camera gets destroyed – I remember you asking about that a while ago…
It’s not going to rival this setup though…
The panoramic video must be spectacular!
Dragon is probably out of my price range, but the V-2 looks pretty tempting!
You say – Maybe I can be the pace car, as the Beagle IV screams up my tailpipe at Mach 4.
Very important to have rear-facing video to allow you to protect your rear flank – here is a situation in aviation (close kin of rocketry – sort of…) that illustrates what you’ve got to be prepared for.

love that perspective…. the aviation aviary
Toma just ran a calculation, and even at the low end of the estimated altitude, the cameras should capture Boston and Hawaii…
at the same time.
so what is the altitude prediction..?
that sounds like 40+ miles..at least
yup, 140-220K ft.
When is this planned…?
Maybe I will book a flight to come watch !
Somehow this makes me think of the US after WWII with all those V2′s they tried to tweak…
Plus the WAC and "Bumper"…

Actually…surfing around the net there is a ton of fascinating history…
The Allies were sparking up V2′s as early as a few months after the war,from Germany..

A bunch of big kids…just like you.

Joder, Tío, ese libro no debéis ponerlo ahí D:
Jajajaj PANazis…
hiciste un full install o lo instalaste sobre 10.5 para conservar los datos?
@KE7WOX La segunda, y por el momento todo marcha bien
ah ok, yo ando con planes de hacer lo mismo, pero primero quiero arreglar tantito los datos.
hermano que tal el snow leopard? vale la pena ?
@KE7WOX Cierto, nunca esta por demás tener respaldos
Pero en mi caso marcha un poquitín lento, puesto que solo tengo 1GB de RAM y la Mac esta sin batería (lo cual implica que el procesador trabaje a la mitad de su rendimiento); mientras no compre más RAM y una batería, mis hábitos de trabajar siempre con 8 aplicaciones abiertas a la vez van a tener que cambiar
=D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hola, soy el administrador de un grupo llamado Nuevos Fotografos y nos encantaría agregar esto al grupo.
Ya veo que compartimos marca, porque mi lap es el MacBook Air. Lo que no tengo es ninguna foto tan espectacular como ésta, con ese fascinante encuadre y, sobre todo, esa luz prodigiosa. Un abrazo, amigo mío.
Joder, no, gracias por recordármelo.
A sacar provecho, que no todos tenemos la misma felicidad…
Las logictech son la onda!
