According to some sources, unsuitable weather conditions prevented HALO Space from conducting the planned balloon test flight of their capsule in Layla, 350 km southeast of Riyadh.

High altitude balloon launch from last sunday from OH3AA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNjIlE9znXk - Finnish speech but I guess you don't miss anything if you don't understand. Might contain some Mastodon figures ;) #hab #highaltitudeballoon #sonde

Now: The 32nd finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity ( #wośp ) the #hab #highaltitudeballoon has taken off from Wroclaw and is broadcasting with callsign SN32WOSP (on #sstv at 144.500MHz) photos that were prepared by people who won charity auctions from which all the profits go to WOŚP.

High altitude balloon launch soon https://amateur.sondehub.org/#!mt=Mapnik&mz=8&qm=7d&mc=60.95044,24.48303&f=OH3HAB-4FSK-V2 #hab #highaltitude #highaltitudeballoon #balloon #radio

Back in 2014 I flew a high-altitude balloon. I never made the video public because I thought I’d get a copyright strike and it would be taken down, but it turns out they’ll let me leave it up, I just can’t earn revenue from it (not like I’ve ever earned a penny from any of my videos).

Starting my first balloon project.
Inspired by SP5RB's successful balloon missions this will be a hot air balloon: https://invidious.citizen4.eu/watch?v=iUy9RNzSJus
To start - a calculator to calculate lift force for different shapes, sizes and temperature difference:

4:20 AM. Hunting for RS41 #meteosonde https://radiosondy.info/sonde_archive.php?sondenumber=T1620400 . They flew two under one balloon: #RS41 together with #M20. #hab #highaltitudeballoon #ic705 #hb9cv

4:30 AM. First test of #diy #hb9cv #antenna on 400MHz for first successful M20 #meteosonde find: https://radiosondy.info/sonde_archive.php?sondenumber=ME9A01486 . #hab #highaltitudeballoon #ic705

Early morning: search for #RS41 #radiosonde: https://radiosondy.info/sonde.php?sondenumber=T1620547 . Unfortunately it landed high among the trees, in the middle of the marshes. It was not possible to find. #hab #highaltitudeballoon #ic705

Just registered to #meteo #radiosonde #tracker: https://radiosondy.info/ . Hope to grab some RS41 dropped sonde to reprogram for own #hab #highaltitudeballoon mission.

With #foss horus-gui software and even the simplest #sdr receiver with omnidirectional antenna you can track #highaltitudeballoon (s). For the last 3 days 6 balloon missions have been launched from Poland, transmitting positions and photos in #sstv mode from #hamradio stations: https://mastodon.radio/@SP9UNB/tagged/hab
