Edge of Space Sciences (EOSS) has published the recap for EOSSP-7, a student balloon mission launched from Peace with Christ Christian School in Aurora on October 2. The organization lists a 10:29 a.m. MDT launch time and identifies KE0UWC as flight coordinator. The recap and its linked charts, data, and photo galleries are now available from EOSS.\n\nThe flight carried a 15-meter WSPR beacon on 21.0946 MHz. EOSS directs listeners to WSPRnet, where received spots can be filtered for 15 meters and the AE0SS call sign. WSPR reception reports provide a useful, crowd-sourced record of where the beacon was heard while the balloon was aloft, rather than relying on one receiving station.\n\nEOSS also sent position information to APRS servers, with the EOSSP-7 track viewable through APRS.fi. That combination of APRS position reporting and WSPR propagation reports makes the mission a practical Colorado example of amateur-radio telemetry and weak-signal monitoring. For Arkansas Valley operators, it is a timely reminder that a modest station can contribute useful reception data to a science and education flight. Source: Edge of Space Sciences.
