Sounding balloon tracking

A sounding balloon has been launched from l'IUT de Valence (map) , France, the 24th of April 2009. The balloon has flown for 3 hours (2 hours up, 1 hour down), up to 26500 meters (87000 feet) high, and has landed 140 km (87 miles) away (map). The Aspire MW was used to track this HAFO (High Altitude Flying Object) in real time. The collected data were GPS position, temperatures, pressures and pictures taken from a 36-grams digital camera.
