Well that was better than "SMART BOMB".

So everyone has seen the "Weather Balloon Cameras". Ascend to 30,0000 feet, then chase it down, with some luck receiving GPS coordinates of where it 'may' have landed.

I'd like to build one that comes back home! I'm thinking a Missile shaped payload. On it accent and decent it could stabilize with its fins. This would also have the benefit of better pictures.

So there is my idea. In its crude form. I'd love some input on this. Below you'll find my ideas on how to make it work.


Micro Heli Gyro & Micro Servo's to control the fins.
Extra large fins to assist in the higher altitude.
GPS for tracking
Camera for taking the pics


Part 2 of this idea would be to attach a glider with UAV enhancements to bring it home.
