Now Organized - the NNSP - Near Near Space Program
I have now organized the NNSP Society, a rapidly expanding group of individuals who are interested in flying kites at higher altitudes - leading to near - near space.
Interested in membership? Please reply to Dr. Humanoido to join the Near - Near Space Program. Welcome to our new divisions. Fly your kite for the Awards Section. Everyone can be involved, no matter how young or how old. This is a new hobby now being promoted for fun and enjoyment. Awards may be incremental. 10 feet. 100 feet. 1000 feet. 10,000 feet. 100,000 feet.
We realize at some point there is little air to continue out kites. This is where we begin to develop new technology for hybrid carriers of a new craft design. The field is wide open for ideas. The NNSP kite flying is useful in areas, and countries, where high level rocketry and ballooning is: outlawed, deemed too dangerous, too complicated or expensive, requires materials not available, or impractical for a host of reasons.
We also encourage school efforts to be organized locally and in parks. For example, here, the retirement community has greatly added to the knowledge of using string, with new materials and greater strength. The schools have shown that a series of miniature kites can loft string into linear dimensions, rather than sagging parabolas, for higher altitudes.
In the future, we will share ideas for launching and flying kites at higher altitudes, using many methods with Basic Stamps, string technology for greater strength and achieving lighter weight, multiple kites for going higher, uses of special air currents like the jet stream for gaining higher approaches, new kite technology, and new methods of Stamp telemetry, imaging technology, cameras, tracking, and image processing.
We are also thinking about releasing a magazine to promote the ideas of the NNSP and related Basic Stamp Technology. This will be a good source of distribution for our Basic Stamp inventions that will data log altitude, offer timing, record temperature, pressure, humidity, axis orientations, sensor signatures, taking images of the Earth and Space, controlling micro payloads, providing short and long range telemetry communications, and a host of other resources.

The KSP was introduced this week by vote, and will be used as a sub name, representing Kite Space Program. The schools are becoming involved on specific research, and the local Chinese master has volunteered a lot of information for getting started. A photo album was started showing the options for professional equipment. We began R&D using Basic One Stamps. These are extremely small, lightweight, available in many board configurations, affordable, can be networked into multiple stamp payloads, and easy to program. Emphasis will include satellite payloads with cameras, though at this point, they will be released in non-orbital configurations for environmental data collection, although the first suborbital flights may not be far away. KSP may assist city governments and local industry by providing aerial photography and recent image mapping, inclusive of GPS mapping projects for roads and highways. Research options will be posted in KSP News!

This thread brought up memories of the Space Elevator a theoretically possible cable between earth and a satellite in geosynchronous orbit. The problems with the idea is the cable. A cable would have to be made of a material 1000 times stronger then carbon fiber just to support its own wait. Your kite program though significantly shorter cables would have the same issues.
