HORUS 8 Test Flight - 10.9.10 - Tracking now!

[Grant Willis]

Well, as a trial run, Horus 8 is being flown today with two telemetry packages and the camera payload. This will give us a good idea of how things will work tomorrow morning.

Here is the current plot predictions showing where the balloon is from it's launch site to now - placing it 22.5km up. We expect to pack up and prepare to retrieve it in about 1.5hrs time!

The following link will take you to the tracking site for a live view of what we are doing.
