Updates, when it's struggling to send emails, will come every 45 minutes or so. If it clears its outbox, it will send emails every 5-10 minutes until the batteries get to 4.05V. Look for a timestamp on the start of the message like T16.28 to confirm when the phone thinks the update is from.
After 8PM, it will send SMS's only to preserve batteries in the cold.
It should be in Michigan by 9 or 10PM, depending on altitude.
Target Altitude: 14,000 feet, which probably means 18,000 feet.

Pics still seem to be 640x480...
ReplyDeleteIt had things stuck in its outbox at powerup. The picture of the celiing of Russ's cube, to be exact. Once it gets back to a clean state it'll do 2MP.
ReplyDeleteIt's over Lake Michigan now, I doubt we'll see pictures until early morning. Hopefully we'll get some SMS coordinates in the next couple of hours.
About lake is that an assumption or you're getting signals? Is SMS sent directly to the blog or you have a "president channel" :)?
ReplyDeleteHeh, no, it's quiet. It'll update here first unless it's roaming, then Russ will push it manually.

It's roaming, possibly unless it wakes up over an interstate or eastern MI.
I see... It went silent while it was still on the ground. I'm starting to worry..
ReplyDelete:)
only thing is that it went silent as soon as it took off and we saw it fly away.
ReplyDeleteSame thing happened last time.
ReplyDeleteI'll post the update algorithm in terms of timing. I won't get too anxious for 24 hours.
