Launched a Canon A540 on a weather balloon!!!

[Fotografer]

Hello, </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wasn't sure who this would interest, but I launched a weather balloon with a digital camera payload attached on September 5th, which was lost when the GPS device failed, then recovered by a farmer on Sept 21st, who then contacted me so I could retrieve it! The pictures are great, and just wanted to share my story. I am an aspiring engineer student who hopes to attend U Texas at Dallas in 2011.
