Payload Container

Working on the payload container today

Once it was all glued together

I’ve been quite specific to ensure the camera doesn’t move about, I’ve seen far too many pictures with half the picture obscured by the hole in the container! PCB and flight computer are at the other side of the container again fairly restricted on movement. There is a empty central channel which I may put a boom on for a video camera, maybe on flight 2 🙂

Finally some 1.5mm braided Nylon cord held in place with yet move lovely gaffer tape to complete the job.

Full set of pictures is at http://www.flickr.com/photos/avahab/sets/72157624924217198/

  1. I REALLY like your capsule. Very clean cuts. One thing though… I looked at the other photos on flickr and I have one suggestion to make. Ever thought about using something like foam core for the internal dividers? It’s strong and weighs less than the rigid styrofoam. Also, florescent orange will show up better than pink (wife is an art teacher).
