Good evening!
We're planning a HAB launch tomorrow, 31st August, from Latvia. It will be a regular up-and-down flight.
Launch will be around 11:00 EEST / 08:00 UTC ISH.
There will be three trackers.
RASA (dew) - RPi transmitting SSDV over 300 baud RTTY on 434.650 MHz USB.
LAASE and LAASE-B (blob, driblet) - backup trackers, 50 baud RTTY, 434.073 & 434.600 MHz USB.
They have previous generation transmitters (NTX2 and RFM22B), so - some drift with the temperature changes is possible.
This is a joint launch with the local observatory folks, they have provided some science payload.
If all goes well, we'll be live streaming from the launch site.
Max altitude is expected around 31 km, should be above horizon in parts of countries around the Baltic sea. (Projected radio horizon for 5, 15 and 30 km – http://i.imgur.com/lRukOSi.png)
All trackers, local and abroad, will be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
