If you’re looking for a lightweight balloon tracker, this one might be very much up your alley.We’ve featured other projects in this vein, too.Meanwhile, if you’re developing something new in the high-altitude ballooning space, you could keep it to yourself. Or, alternatively, you coul...
Now that you have built a High Altitude Balloon tracker, you have completed the hardest part of your own High Altitude Balloon launch. The next steps are to incorporate this into a payload, add a camera (or two), a parachute and a balloon and launch them into the stratosphere. These step...
TBTracker Plug and Play RTTY and LoRa High Altitude Balloon Tracker for Arduino and SX127x (or Hope RFM9x). TBTracker is a sketch for a tracker for high altitude weather balloons. It will send telemetry data in RTTY and LoRa format. It is designed to send telemetry data in the correct...
ADDS PENTAGON RESPONSE THAT IT WOULD NOT CONFIRM - A high altitude balloon floats over Billings, Mont., on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023. The U.S. is tracking a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that has been spotted over U.S. airspace for a couple days, but the Pentagon decided not ...
Students at Fort Richmond Collegiate continue work outdoors on their high altitude balloon project despite the cooler November temperatures and darkening skies. The weather was great on November 6th when this tethered test was conducted using a small 350 gram balloon loaned by SHARP. Best wishes (73...
Send a Teddy Bear to Space! (High-Altitude Balloon): Learn how to make and launch your own payload to near-space! High-altitude balloons are an accessible way to get a small payload to the edge of space using helium to gently carry your equipment off the
Chasemapper has now dropped support for the HabHub tracker, which is due to be retired later this year (2022). Chasemapper supports uploading chase-car position information to both SondeHub (for radiosonde chasers), and SondeHub-Amateur (for amateur high-altitude balloon launches) Docker Install...
After many experimental trials with high altitude weather balloon payloads, we have arrived at this optimized parachute design. It allows for a stable parachute deployment at ~Mach 1 when the balloon initially bursts in the vacuum of near-space. The 36in diameter parachute is designed to yield ...
The AirCore instrument is lifted by a meteorological balloon to the stratosphere, typically up to 30–35 km of altitude. The inlet valve of the AirCore system is open during the balloon launch and the sampler is filled during payload descent. The inlet valve of the system is closed shortly...
For the hourly continuous observations, the data are preprocessed to daily means by taking average of 12–16 local time, except for the high altitude mountain sites from which average of 0–4 local time is taken. The observational uncertainty varies between the sites from 4.5 to 75 ppb. ...
