 Possible landing sites  Sea  Land  How to recover the sward  Boat  Car  Super jeep  Helicopter

 Contract between the coast guard and RU  Statement from all of the helicopter companies in Iceland  Limited flight distance  Super jeep and car  Standby if needed

 Unmanned balloon flight is governed by local law  Necessary to obtain permission for each flight  CAA  Isavia  Most difficult to obtain for the first flight.

 The test launch set up  3000 gr latex balloon  Parachute  Styrofoam box  Ballast to simulate the weight of the other equipment in the main launch  The styrofoam box contained  Phone (Samsung Galaxy Note)  SPOT tracker  Temperature logger

 Test launch  Launched from hangar near RU  Test phone stream  Test SPOT reliability  Test the accuracy of the trajectory forecast  In 11 km high the SPOT stopped sending signals  In 18 km high the phone stopped streaming

 6 hour flight  To low ascent speed  Average 2 m/s  Need more free lift  Successful flight

 Landed in the sea  62°53’33.5 N  12°34’8.5 W  175 km from the coast  Out of the coast guard range  No ship near to pick it up  Not retrieved

 Main flight  3000 gr latex balloon  Parachute  Styrofoam box  Beam  3 GoPro  SPOT  Antenna  Spaceship

 Styrofoam box contained  Trackuino  Samsung Galaxy Note  Arduino/Cut down  Launched in 10 m/s vind speed  Crashed before takeoff  Cameras knocked out of alignment

 Landed in the highlands  64°22’45.6N  19°18’10.9W  130 km from Reykjavík  Within the coast guard range

 The coast guard approved to get it  Good weather condition  The helicopter mission was a failure  Difference in the coordinates between RU and coast guard  Decimal (RU)  Standard (Coast guard)  30 km between these coordinates

 Mission by two 4x4  8 person  2 super jeeps  GPS  14 hours  350 km  Brake down  This mission was a success  The entire payload was retrieved
