    What are those white things? Are you dropping messages?

    Haha! Yeah, 3.5 gram ballast units getting ready to be dropped (70g in total) We really wanted to keep an eye on them as they're a good measure of Ivorycopter's health.

    they look like diapers.

    ballasts to hold the camera still?

    ballasts to counteract effect of lost lifting power over time--as hydrogen escapes from the balloons, ballast units are dropped.

    I do really like the wheresgeorge idea!--next time, hey?
