SOLAR1 is showing a nice track on aprs.fi, with interesting telemetry. I had the privilege of watching her leave Phoenix, into the dawn sunrise, on her way to DFW.

Solar Impulse flying up Jersey Coast NOW (9 AM Saturday).

Need an APRS operator to watch position on http://live.solarimpulse.com/ and then maintain an active object on APRS RF so that all mobiles can see the aircraft on their mobile radios and be able to lookup and see it.

Its the size of a 747 wingspan but the mass of a volkswagon and completely solar powered.

Use the OBJECT NAME of SOLAR1.
