Featherweight Altimeters' owner Adrian Adamson, father of the lightweight Parrot altimeter, has a real penchant for high altitudes and getting there in a hurry.
Adamson is an engineer who worked with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory on the electrical system for the Mars Rover project and more recently finds himself working on power system models for NASA's Constellation Program.
Apparently bitten by the altitude bug, Adamson has been tinkering with setting records, wielding carbon fiber and high temperature epoxy into multiple stage rockets.� His latest project, Violent Agreement 2, is a story packed with details of his trip to fly it on the Black Rock Desert at this 2010's BALLS experimental launch.
