How many balloons do you have currently deployed? Do you have a data API for the balloons?

We've deployed a few dozen, and we don't have a public API right now but send me and email: austin@sorcerer.earth

  • May you please deploy whatever-camera (gopro) to these with a 1-fps connector:

    Such that we can see them?

    As others mentioned, this is a fantastic launch.

    I'd love to have one permanently teathered to a place of my choise using a fiber-optic+carbon/kevlar thread to hold it in place with data coming down the fiber, and have the camera and pico compute data and radios powered by solar.
