While this looks really cool. The site is janky for mobile. The tweet 'div' having overflow scroll and the website also scrolling causes for some weird UX/UI.

You should blog about your tech stack and how you're accomplishing live streaming. APRS isn't sufficient for video, so do you have a satellite uplink?

We're planning on it! We'll be doing a write-up of the whole process and stack, to be posted after the launch. We're actually using an analog transceiver designed for FPV use to transmit video to the ground, and a separate digital transceiver to send telemetry down and receive commands.

If you have a logo, you should probably change the favicon from the default ASP.NET one. It's the little things...

Thank Microsoft for heavens!

All the point of the page is to present the counter. Nice. Somebody could have put there at least a link to some description of whatever is going to be controlled, so at least my visit to the page wouldn't be limited to seeing the Great Counter of Heavens.

Sorry, we meant for the text beneath the counter and the tweet feed to give details on the event. You'll be able to control where our camera points during the flight.
