Inspired by the animated film Up, moonhouse #2.8 rised approximately 400 meters on a helium-driven vehicle. The launch took place on a bright swedish summer evening at ”Vretbo Space Center” near Västerås.

The craft was tethered to a fishing line, but getting it back was hard. Winds and trees made the moonhouse get stuck. With the help of arrows, neighbours and an airgun it was possible to retrieve the payload.

Moonhouse #2.8 will continue its adventures.
