ARLA/CLUSTER: Porco no Espaço: Radioamador britânico planeia lançar um "Pinky Pig" num balão de alta altitude

Pig in Space

*Andrew Garratt M0NRD* plans to launch *Pinky Pig* into near-space along
with several 434 MHz transmitters at 12pm on Friday, September 25 from the
National Hamfest at the Newark Showground.

Andrew has two pigs, Pinky and Perky, but it is Pinky wearing his fetching
headset who has been selected to be the passenger on the High Altitude
Balloon flight. During the flight images of Pinky will be transmitted to
radio amateurs back on Earth using the Slow Scan Digital Video (SSDV)
system.



The SSDV payload, callsign *PINKY*, will transmit on 434.575 MHz USB RTTY
300 bps 880 Hz shift ASCII-8 no parity 2 stop bits. The backup telemetry
tracker, callsign PIGLET, will transmit 434.150 MHz USB RTTY 50 bps 380 Hz
shift ASCII-7 no parity 2 stop bits.

There may also be LoRa spread spectrum transmitter on 434.450 MHz, callsign
PERKY, however, at the time of writing there was a fault with the module.

The signals from the balloon should be receivable across most of the UK.
Those overseas can use the SUWS WebSDR <http://websdr.suws.org.uk/> to
receive the 434 MHz USB signals.
