The NFA Ham Radio Club will be developing a High Altitude Balloon (HAB) to go up to the Earth's stratosphere and come back down. During its flight, we will be programming an Arduino to record temperature, location, and altitude. These data will be also sent back down to Earth via amateur radio, using APRS. Digital cameras will take pictures on the way up and down. A SSTV camera will also radio pictures.
The kick-off meeting for NFA students is Thursday, February 17. We are aiming to finish and launch the HAB sometime in June.
