I want to build a model rocket that will launch from a platform lifted up by weather balloons to achieve the highest elevation possible. (Yes I will double and triple check this is legal). I just have 2 questions:

1) How could I track this rocket?

2) How can I figure out how high the rocket went?

Thank you,

David

 

I'll make sure to upload some of the pictures to the forum.

Space is pretty awesome.

you may want to ask that question in a different forum. Try this . Its a link to a forum called RcGroups, the rocketry section. I'm sure someone there could help you with the questions you have.

You would want a GPS device with a data logging function..
