Beschreibung: The video recording shows a successful launch of the TU Delft V3 kite from an upside-down hanging position on 2 August 2012 at the former airfield Valkenburg, Leiden, Netherlands. The GoPro camera is placed on the ground next to the launch mast. As for all previous mast-based launch attempts, the hanging kite is first steered into a pendulum motion, before taking off with an upswing maneuver. This upswing is not continuous, however, with the kite stagnating several times, falling back down somewhat, then picking up speed again and climbing a bit higher, eventually reaching a stable flight position above the mast head. The tether is then reeled out continuously and the kite works its way up to higher altitude, while performing subtle crosswind maneuvers. Shortly after 1 minute into the video, the kite disappears from the field of view, such that its reaching the peak altitude of 120 meters and the subsequent descent are not visible. This launch was also covered by data recording, by a regular photo camera and by a second GoPro video camera, that was taped to the rear side of the leading edge tube of the wing, between the two center struts, looking at the kite control unit. Because the time of the GoPro video camera was incorrectly set, we used the short initial pendulum motion of the hanging kite as a clearly identifiable event in the video and the data recording to determine the correct starting time of the video, 20:45:10, which was then set in the video metadata
