Android in the Stratosphere: Advanced Development for Near-Space Exploration

Have you ever wondered what the world would look like at 100,000 feet above sea level? Wonder no more. The instructor took a weather balloon, an Android phone and a sense of adventure, and launched Android into near-space.

This class will explain advanced programming techniques used in Android to perform GPS tracking and data recording, as well as automated camera capturing to document and record flight information. Other topics covered in this class will be utilizing the Google Maps API with custom drawing, SQLite database creation and manipulation, and creating services.

SpaceTracker was initially developed as an application for High Altitude Balloon experiments. SpaceTracker had it's maiden flight 11/25/2011 when it was used running on an HTC Incredible 2. The flight was a success and the phone was successfully recovered.

The application itself will allow you to setup your phone to take pictures at a specific interval as well as send out SMS messages at specific intervals with the phones current location, speed, and distance.

After tracks/flights are recorded SpaceTracker can export the GPS data to a KML file to display the flight path in Google Earth.

SpaceTracker is useful for not just High Altitude Balloon Experiments but can be used for sending your location while driving/running/biking to keep loved ones in the loop. Really the possible uses for the application are endless.
