Yesterday, on Sunday early morning hours were carried out final preparations for the historic launch of stratospheric probes Astronomical Association Vidulini. They were successful during the afternoon poletjele sky above the area.
HISTRION 2 seconds to lasniranja RESIZE
Team COSMONAUTICS team composed of Peter Gljušćić, N. Udovičić, Gregor Srdoč, Marcela Rasonja, Gabriel Erman, Uros Todorovic-Mikšaj, Alen Peteh, Igor Puhar, James Vardijan, Ogren variola, Z. Eres, Marino Tumpić and other developed three probes that are in the afternoon to be ready for flight. Stratospheric probes are called HISTRION which is attached to the serial number.
HISTRION-1A - probe to test the first Croatian "real astronaut" - a small teddy bear (thank UNICEF) to close the outer space carrying messages of peace, education and cooperation among nations. This probe is equipped with electronic devices.

HISTRION-2 - probe with technical equipment and devices for photographing the Earth from close up the space.
HISTRION-3 - probe with cameras aimed at supporting the launch is set to a controlled height of 50m above the launch site.
First he took off at 18:23 stratospheric probe HISTRION-2, followed by at 18:38 to set up a controlled amount of probe HISTRION-3, and the last probe was launched at 18:44 HISTRION-1A with the first "real Croatian astronaut" - medvjedićem , obtained by UNICEF.
Marigold and Peter agree probe RESIZE
After lasiranja probes were monitored via a radio signal and a visual telescope and binoculars.
Probe HISTRION-2 reported the coordinates of the landing and rescue team went in search of 19:52. After breaking through the forest and brush probe is found in 21:05.
The first analysis of equipment and footage showed that the technique has survived, and the probe successfully performed the mission. Even more so the probe is literally snatched from the support rope which was associated with a balloon at high altitude because of strong winds that blow at speeds of over 200km / h. Unplanned fall without a parachute did not leave the consequences to the equipment and the probe is sustained only slight damage to the skin. Mitigating the decline in trees and undergrowth a few kilometers southeast of the village Bale.
HISTRION 2 and continues to climb the heights RESIZE
This launch is carried out within the first Croatian space program - astronautics.
The first Croatian space program, originating from Istria, which was initiated and implemented Astronomical Association Vidulini a pioneering venture in the homeland and the territory of former Yugoslavia. This is the first time that the mission of this type with the successful launch, landing and recovery of information made in Croatia.
Followed by processing and analyzing images, the parameters of the flight and the launch of new probes and more sophisticated probes. Photos have been made by the Astronomical Association Vidulini.
