Channel 20, displaying the end of the hold sequence — just minutes away from restarting the countdown.
A shot from the launch-viewing hill. This is part of another panorama I put together. The panorama shows most of the base: at the far left, we see the main building (with the two large golf-ball-like attenas), with Dagobert just to the right; just to the left of middle is the balloon launch pad — our building is the large one in the middle of the three behind the launch pad; in the centre of the image, behind and to the right of the balloon launch pad, is the rocket launch tower (the strange-looking pyramid with the tower behind).
Marco performs some more gondola acrobatics while attaching mylar to the back of the primary.
The result of Marco's efforts.
The fake sun illuminates the sun sensor for pointing tests.
