Pico Balloon Launch #11

November 11, 2024
This is the 11th launch of one of our R Squared Pico Trackers, and our 3rd attempt of a 10 meter WSPR version.
Almost immediately after launch, the balloon began to descend. We were afraid it had developed a leak. At about 1:06 you can see the tracker / antenna hit a lamp post, but it kept going and finally started climbing.
This flight can be tracked here:
