EOSS recovered our payloads at N 44 05.72 W 115 30.21, altitude approximately 5800ft. Hands on the payload was at 1910 hours. Once we realized we had a slow ascent rate,we drove up highway 21 to

One of the main issues in GPSL 2016 (and perhaps this year too) were extensive RF holes. In 2016 our balloon landed in an area with no repeater or cell service. We had good RF tracking of the

I think the main thing we didn't do is assign people to chase a specific balloon. Or at least a "lead" person for each balloon to coordinate the activity around that balloon.

better wording: Could you please elaborate just a little on your experience in 2016? What specifically were the main things that didn't work and why? This will inform future hosts and organizers

Michael, Could you please elaborate just a little on your experience in 2016? What specifically were the main things that didn't work and why? This will inform future hosts and organizers about what

I tried to improve this at GPSL 2016 by being "the one person". It did not work out so well. But along those lines, I think if each team could assign a person to post on say, a GPSL

I changed to a 75 MB file as a test upload and it was accepted by Groups.io nicely in an elapsed time of 27 minutes, roughly half my DSL download speed. So GPSL should be able to accommodate the

Awesome, thanks Paul.

Here are some screen captures from the balloon that reached 95,900 feet. These are of the Mr. Potatohead/GPSL 2018 sign. -- Dr. L. Paul Verhage Near Space Evangelist

20 Meg file accepted no problem. Doing a 100 MB file now but with my garden variety DSL speed it could take 30 minutes or more. At least Groups.io did not complain and is in progress now. Note that

I would think the GPSL files section would be a sensible place. A very quick look with Google did not come up with an official limit on either individual or total megabyte limits, but in another

I have the copies. I just need to find a place to post them.

I outfitted a stainless steel thermos with a temperature and pressure sensor plugged into a flight computer I designed for rocketry. I am attaching the graphs I created from the data. You can see the

I will make a note to copy them off the PC. Then I need to find a place to post them online.

Will anyone be posting the PowerPoint presentations from the conference? Those of us who could not attend would love to see them. Chuck / KG5CA StratoCasters

Seems to me, since many of you have amateur radio licenses, amateur radio would be a great way to stay in contact when those darn cell phones fail :) 73, Jim N0TKN

After watching some Iridium Satellites which are sometimes called Iridium Flares because of the reflection that they give when rotating, what are the thoughts of possibly using a reflector of some

Here's a link to a few pre-flight photos, including the flight that never was. GPSL 2018 GPSL 2018 Nampa, Idaho June 14-16

Hank, thanks for your email about this. The GoPro pointed up in my payload box captured the moment. Looking at it, I'm still not sure what happened. Here is a link to the video: line failure 6 16
