The ACES flight package generally includes two independent beacons that broadcast GPS latitude, longitude and altitude information in the APRS format. When we fly from NSBF in Palestine, Texas a member of the Palestine / Anderson County Amateur Radio Club (Jack Coleman) provides the facility to repeat these data over the internet. The links below allow you to track an ACES payload during flight operations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
