ARLA/CLUSTER: Acompanhar o trajecto de um radio-balão lançado do Reino Unido

[João Gonçalves Costa]

High Altitude Balloon Tracking

On Saturday the 1st of December, subject to weather conditions, Anthony Stirk M0UPU, Dave Akerman and Neil Barnes along with Lester Haines from the online technology news website www.theregister.co.uk<http://www.theregister.co.uk>  will be launching a number of 70cms RTTY based telemetry trackers under a meteorological balloon.

The flight has a number of objectives, primarily is to test the "SPEARS" board that will hopefully trigger a rocket motor eventually as part of The Register's LOHAN project (http://www.theregister.co.uk/Wrap/lohan/ ). Additionally we will be testing Iridium RockBlock (http://rockblock.rock7mobile.com ) based location tracker.

The launch and subsequent recovery (subject to 3G coverage) will be streamed live to http://www.batc.tv/streams/lohan  from about 10.00 onwards.

We invite people with suitable equipment to assist with remote tracking. Suitable means a radio receiver capable of receiving USB on 70cms. A full tracking guide is here : http://ukhas.org.uk/guides:tracking_guide

People with Funcubes/SDR's can use this first : http://ukhas.org.uk/guides:sdr_tracker . I would suggest people get this set up in advance (there is a launch on Friday if they want to practice) , any questions regarding it can be direct to our IRC channel on irc.freenode.net #highaltitude . A web client is here : http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=highaltitude
