Photos of EOSS activities

Click the thumbnails and download a larger GIF. I've purposely kept even the "large" pictures pretty small as you'll see from their descriptions.

EOSSAD.GIF - In an moment of shear boredom and with the recent arrivial of a new image processing package (Adobe Photoshop 3.0), I came up with this interesting picture.

If you're interested in such things, I've written a brief synopsis of the creation process of this picture. CLICK HERE for that overview.

From EOSS-14. This was a demonstration flight for the general public. It was "Amateur Radio Day" at the Colorado Springs Public Library where we both launched our payload and ran our ground station.

APA.GIF - Taken during EOSS-15 this is a view of Centennial Airport (APA) from the balloon at approximately 24,000 feet altitude. The airport is located in the center of the picture. The road crossing the picture from left to right at the bottom is Parker Road. Although hard to make out, the road that intersects Parker and goes west towards the mountains and north of (or right of) Centennial Airport is Arapahoe Avenue. For those of you familiar with the area, this may help place the picture. (121K)
