These middle school students went to FHSU this morning to participate in their high-altitude balloon launch! We will post a video of the launch soon, but if you would like to track the balloon location and the stats (speed and altitude and such), you may do so by following the following instructions!
1) Go to https://aprs.fi/#!mt=roadmap&z=13&call=&others=1&timerange=10800&tail=10800
2) Zoom out and navigate to Hays Kansas (it defaults far away!)
3) You will look for a balloon image---it will likely have the callsign K1AMO or N8VRN
They predict their balloon should land north of Wilson Lake and south of Osborne depending on the wind, and should land in about an hour! 🦍
