Flight Procedures

We need help adding stuff here, things like

• Filing FAA NOTAMs
• Launch procedures
• Suppliers
  • Balloons
  • Antennas
  • Helium
  • etc...

Beacons & Tracking

• KA7NSR-11 (Yellow Beacon)
• KA7NSR-12 (Flight Computer)
• KA7NSR-13 (Baby Beacon)

Slow Scan TV

Gary, K7GGG has put together a very nice slow scan TV package that we successfully flew on ANSR-?? It'd be nice to put up a bit about that here as well
