Hi Paul Very, very promising ......... 73, Bruce Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab® S

Next year is Idaho. Will that make it easier to attend?

I had a great time watching vicariiusly from Saskatoon. We hope to be able to join you in one of the future ones. 73, Bruce and Leigh - VE5BNC & VE5LEE Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab® S

Here's the prediction I did via the Habhub predictor the night before the flight for the KD4STH-13 and WB8ELK-11 balloon. It was 6 km south of the actual landing but right on the money in the

I am still trying to figure out how to do a better prediction. To that end, I grabbed 5 of today's flights from aprs.fi & findu.com. I imported them into my too and had it extract the details from

Jerry - Thank you for setting up the link to APRS.fi to watch all the GPSL balloon flights this morning. It was great to just click this link and ‘watch’ the flights. I was mentally cheering for

And here is the final Prediction. Not much has changed in the last 24 hours. As always, you can get the big versions of all of the predictions here: GPSL 2017 Predictions For those of you watching

For those of you heading home to the northeast tomorrow, there is an 'enhanced risk' area of severe weather expected to extend from near Topeka through KC towards Chicago. Timing would be after 3pm,

Here is the Friday PM prediction. Looks about the same as this morning's prediction. One thing to note is the habhub prediction is showing up a little shorter than the S3 Research ones. Keep this

FYI, the 18Z predicts are very similar to the 12Z ones shown this afternoon. 12Z attached here. 73 de Mark N9XTN

Someone asked how descent rate is calculated. The comments in the code (javascript) below show the calculation. This is part of the worker.js file that does all the wind download and calculations if

Mark, thanks for the *live* updates 😊… maybe before the event ends. HIRFW-6 will have made 9 months aloft. It already returned from the Moon in equivalent distance travelled 😊… I guess I

This morning all flights will land beyond Newton. Even the 1100FPM ascent/descent clears newton by about 10 miles. I added a 120K, 450FPM flight to see what we get with a high but slow flight.

Red boxes are severe thunderstorm warnings. Storm motion is ESE now, but should turn more SE or even SSE with time. 60 mph winds and up to 1" hail in stronger cores. Just arrived at the hotel,

Hey gang, when I packed up my payload to bring it to Kansas I apparently forgot to pack my little payload beeper. If anybody has a small beeper that'll run on 3 to 5 volts that I could borrow for the

All, Zack asked to see another prediction with some higher burst but slower ascent rates. You can see a bigger copy of this here: High & Slow This is using the 1200Z forecast so the path is

This is a forward from our local emergency management. As Mark said, there's a chance of storms this afternoon, although it appears Hutch's exposure is going to be fairly limited to just the late

Looks like today's prediction shows the balloons landing in Newton or just beyond. All the predictions are be available here: GPSL2017 Predictions as well as on the superlaunch.org

Not much change for surface conditions, except that SPC is increasing the risk of large hail with the thunderstorms this afternoon/evening with the highest risk centered on the Hutchinson area.
