Check list of procedure

• Report with pictures and videos from now until the end of the precedure.
• Extend the plastic mat on the floor.
• Plug the heat gun to the DC to AC car converter.
• Download from the car the helium bottle.
• Putting up of the plastic mat:
• The launch pad with the balloon.
• Lid with fitting.
• Payload components (payload encapsulation, payload camera, 9-volt Battery, thermal blanket, loc8tor).
• Stage2.
• Chinese localizer.
• Several Tapes.
• Cutter.
• Tester.
• Compressed air hose.
• 5 kg scale with a clamp and 2 kg load.
• Adhesive for plastic.
• 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.
