- Prepare the launch pad:
- Fix the parachute with duct tape.
- Protect the cameras with thermal blanket and fix to the tube.
- Checks the Chinese localizer protect it with thermal blanket an fix to the tube.
- Prepare the payload:
- Check that the payload camera works doing a record test.
- Turn on the payload camera.
- Fix it into the payload encapsulation with thermic glue.
- Cover it with thermal blanket.
- Connect the 9-Volt Battery.
- Cover with more thermal blanket.
- Introduce the loc8tor.
- Cover with more thermal blanket.
- Check the Stage2 igniter with the tester.
- Connect the igniter with the Arduino (See below, picture 1 for connector schematic).
- Turn on the Arduino board with the switch (See picture 2)
- Seal the union with duct tape.
- Enter the Stage2 into the launch pad.
- Put Adhesive for plastic all around the lid with the fitting.
- Introduce it quickly into the launch pad and seal with duct tape too.
- Connect the air pressure hose with the helium bottle and the launch pad.
- Open the helium bottle valve slowly.
- Check the free lift with the scale.
- Once the free lift is correct, let go off the launching platform.
