General Thoughts / Observations
This was a TR9 52” x 68” balloon, solar powered with six Aoshike cells. Once fully assembled, I tested the system - it transmitted and SDR sharp decoded the message.
It was pretty much a windless launch, I just let go and the balloon floated away - no drama. The only problem was that I never heard from it again, just another mystery.
Thoughts for next time
Thoughts for next time
Keep the focus on building custom balloons for greater elevation.
