The Iridium Flare Tracker Project
A project designed for the 2004 Burning Man Festival using lasers to point out Iridium flares.
To design and implement a system to point out Iridium satellite flares as they happen. The system will use a bright DPSS laser beam to identify the point in the sky where the next flare is supposed to show up. A large (2'x11') LED clock will serve as an 'attractor' for folks walking by as well as give an accurate countdown to the viewing time.
And for those who don't know what is an Iridium flare,
go here.
