Norm, KN4CZ, brought this to my attention.   An balloon payload was found in the woods recently in Statesville NC.  Let's spread the word and see if we can find the owner!

Facebook do your magic! We found this box in Statesville, NC today. It was in the middle of the woods close to where we were shooting. Inside the box was a go-pro. Attached the the box was the picture of these 3 kids (looking like astronauts). You can see how far into the atmosphere this box went so there is no telling how far this box traveled. Share this post and see if we can find the owners & get them these pictures!

Not the one I lost.  If there is an APRS Tx in the box we can get the call sign.

The payload's owner has been located !


Madison Jessup Robinette Well everyone...it launched right from Statesville & landed in Statesville. That’s almost as mind blowing as it traveling miles and mile. The family has been contacted & they are about to receive nearly 30,000 pictures of his kiddos “in space”
