Image Taken From Our High-Altitude Balloon at over 90,000 ft Members of the Nashua Area Radio Club launched a High-Altitude Balloon (HAB) to the edge of space and back this past weekend. Our HAB carried a 2m APRS Transmitter and sent position and atmospheric telemetry to the ground during its flight. Our HAB was tracked by many folks using aprsi.fi during its flight via the N1FD-11 call sign. You can see an amazing video of the flight include footage taken from the balloon on our club website here - https://www.n1fd.org/ Our HAB launch was part of a STEM learning project that our club did in partnership with several High Schools here in New Hampshire. You can read more about the project and our STEM work on our Blog here - https://www.n1fd.org/category/space/ Enjoy! Fred, AB1OC President, Nashua Area Radio Club
Posting the video of our High Altitude Balloon Flight Carrying Amateur Radio directly here to make it easier to view. Check out the amazing footage from over 90,000 ft above sea level. Some interesting APRS-based tracking video is included as well. Enjoy! Fred, AB1OC President, Nashua Area Radio Club Visit us at https://n1fd.org/
Fred - Very nice video production for a clearly successful project. Congratulations to the entire team! As another point of reference - here was the recent WMSI HAB launch where they just missed 30,000m. http://www.whitemountainscience.org/wmsi-blog/2016/12/17/finding-the-profile-high-altitude-balloon Slient key KB1OKX was the team lead for fox-hunting the data recorders (the GPS malfunctioned - yielded yet another "opportunity" for success). Thanks for posting - amazing where amateur radio is going these days. 73 Jim, WQ2H
