This is a UK based project to create a high altitude glider powered by a Gumstix. It was originally powered by the 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 UKHAS glider project, go there for the latest information.
