UPDATE: This balloon has now burst and landed 60k to the east of Bendigo. Thanks to everyone for tracking! The following callsigns were recorded as contributing telemetry:
VK2PNH, VK3AH, VK3BQ, VK3DA, VK3DNS, VK3EEK, VK3FUR, VK3IK, VK3JED, VK3JL, VK3JUG, VK3MB, VK3OF, VK3OHM, VK3TNU, VK3UKW, VK3YD, VK5BRL, VK5HS, VK5IS, VK5LJG, VK5PE, VK5QI, VK5TRM
Here’s some entertainment for the VK3s & Southern VK2s/VK1s this weekend – I’ve sent another pico balloon (30 grams) careening towards the east, currently doing >280 kph!
If it ends up floating as intended (and it might not, these things are finicky…) then it should keep heading past Melbourne and off towards the east coast.
Tracking of the flight is available here: https://tracker.habhub.org/…
It’s transmitting the Project Horus ‘Horus Binary’ 4FSK mode on 434.200 MHz (tune to 434.199 MHz USB), and can be decoded using the Horus-GUI software: https://github.com/…/1.1-Horus-GUI-Reception-Guide…
