Just 3 minutes to go. 2 minutes and holding now.
I hate having these precious small sats having to go with a beginner rocket company whose only other launch ended in disaster.

It's a trial for 21 days, after which they want payment.

Re: NWS Sonde Chase and Recovery
Anyone have a link for the SondeMonitor? I saw a little Arduino based unit for the first time a few weeks ago.
Are there multiple versions, or is there just one that has been developed?
