[OSM-talk] $8000 low earth orbit satelite

[Julio Costa Zambelli]

:)

In the meantime I will keep myself busy working on the OSM Drone (In
CL_ES: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-cl/2010-July/000644.html).

It will be an RC Airplane (probably a Hobbico FlyZone SkyFly Max[1] or
a Multiplex Easy Star[2]) equipped with an ArduPilot Mega[3] from DIY
Drones and a Canon camera with CHDK[4] taking the pictures.

I have great expectations about this project and I will try to keep
you all informed of the progress of it.

Cheers,

Julio Costa
