    Imperial College Space Society 434 MHz balloon

    The Imperial College Space Society will be launching a pico balloon with a 434 MHz payload on Saturday, Nov 23 from Fryent Country Park, London

    On the UKHAS Google Group Medad reports:

    The balloon will be a prestreched aliexpress balloon which we will be launching for the first time.

    The flight path is expected to take it North towards Manchester, Edinburgh and into the North Sea.

    Tracking details are as follows:
    Callsign: ICSPACE14
    RTTY: 434.57MHz USB
    50 baud, 760 Hz shift, ASCII-8, no parity, 2 stop bits
    Launch time aim: 12 pm UK time on Saturday, November 23.

    Transmits 10 pips before transmitting message. 30s gap between each transmission when below 3000m. Above 3000m, it will transmit with a gap of 60 seconds.

    We will really appreciate your help tracking the little balloon.

    Very interesting, thanks for the news and the links to fascinating tracker sites, -though I wish I'd read it before the Imperial College launch!
    My SDRPlay will be on tracking duties from now on.
