ARLA/CLUSTER: Radio balões lançados do Reino Unido escutados em 434 MHz na Polonia

[João Gonçalves Costa]

UK 434 MHz balloons head for Poland

Two balloons were launched from Cambridge on Saturday, April 13, one transmitting video images from a Rapsberry Pi. On Saturday evening the M0UPU-11 APRS signal indicated they were over Germany.

The first balloon is flying a Raspberry Pi which transmitted live Slow Scan Digital Video (SSDV) images back to the ground by a pair of transmitters to double the bandwidth. The data was RTTY 300 baud 8N2.
The frequencies used were 434.070 and 434.074 MHz. The balloon call sign was $$PIE.

The second balloon flew a 70cms tracker on 434.450 MHz 50 baud 7N2. Additionally once it entered air space where the airborne use of APRS is permitted a second APRS transmitter was enabled, presumably on the APRS frequency of 144.800 MHz, with the call sign M0UPU-11.

Live video of the launch was streamed by the British Amateur TV Club (BATC) at
