PS-32 was released at 7am AEST Australia Day 26\/1\/2015 from Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Solar powered, 20mW TX
\nTX WSPR and JT9 on 30m and 20m<\/p>\n

This will be simultaneously tracked with PS-31.<\/p>\n

Dial frequency 10.138700Mhz and 14.095600Mhz (standard WSPR dial frequencies).
\nJT9 at 1200Hz offset, coexisting with PS-31 at 1000Hz offset<\/p>\n

See HF decoding info in the FAQ section or here <\/a><\/p>\n

Tracking as PS-32 on SNUS here<\/a>
\nWSPR call sign is VK3ANH <\/a><\/p>\n

Assistance with tracking is appreciated.<\/p>\n

Update #1 8:00pm 27\/1\/2015 AEST<\/p>\n

PS-32 has crossed the international dateline and past -60 latitude.<\/p>\n

Update #2 12:00pm 31\/1\/2015 AEST<\/p>\n

PS-32 came close to the South America Coast 46H ago, and hasn’t been heard from since.<\/p>\n

Predicted path<\/p>\n

\"NewImage\"<\/p>\n

It is very possible that the balloon is still flying, but a bad combination of shutdown at night and propagation time might be the main factor that prevents long range reception of the telemetry.<\/p>\n

Please keep watching out for the next few days!<\/p>\n

Update #3 6:00pm 4\/2\/2015 AEST<\/p>\n

It appears that PS-32 has gone down somewhere between South America and South Africa.
\nThanks everyone for assistance with tracking, and see you at the next launch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
