APRS Balloon launch today from California Bay area!
On Thursday 9 June we will be doing a high-altitude balloon launch of our prototype Phonesat spacecraft.... It will have a separate APRS VHF beacon, but what we're really interested is collecting the data from the satellite's UHF beacon. It would be great if people can ...send us back any data to to mikesafyan@gmail.com
