Long-duration HAB flight in progress

CNSPb.jpg?width=480The California Near Space Project is at it again.  Last year, they became the first team to achieve a transatlantic crossing using a latex weather balloon, and they launched from California.  Above is last year's flight path.

They have another long-duration flight over the great lakes right now, and you can follow the action here: http://aprs.fi/k6rpt-12.  Note that they're having some GPS trouble, so the position reports can be a little bit weird, but generally the position updates every 2 minutes.  More information on the team can be found on their website at http://www.californianearspaceproject.com

  • Quick update... the balloon was just picked up via APRS just off the coast of Morocco... it's still alive, making this (possibly) the second trans-atlantic flight by the California Near Space Project.  The tracking link above is still good, if you're interested.  Congrats to the CNSP team!
