To all,
I just re-ran the NOAA projections for the pico-balloon’s path. Assuming it is still aloft, it is currently traveling over the North Atlantic Ocean, several hundred miles east-southeast of Nova Scotia at coordinates 38.132900, -49.661600. Unfortunately there is no APRS digipeater close enough to receive its signal. My expectation is that we will not hear from AA4VU-1 again until it approaches the coast of north Africa. This should (hopefully) happen sometime Saturday morning, Nashville time.
Once I get another location fix, I’ll re-run the path projections, but I expect the balloon will then travel north through western Europe, which has an extensive APRS network.
