====== The High Altitude Slug Project ======
{{ .high altitude slug:slug_logo.png|The project logo}}
This is a UK based project to create a high altitude glider powered by a [[http://www.gumstix.com/|Gumstix]]. It was originally powered by the [[http://www.nslu2-linux.org/|Linksys NSLU2]], nicknamed the "slug", but the name has stuck!

Aims:

  * Produce a high altitude glider that will return to the area it was launched //reliably//.
  * Gather photos, and maybe scientific data.
  * Keep costs to a minimum.

**Now merged with the [[:projects:ukhas_glider_project|UKHAS glider project]], go there for the latest information.**
