Balloon Launch in <9 Hours!

UAT Nearspace is launching it's first high altitude balloon, tomorrow at 1300 Zulu. The APRS callsign for the balloon's tracker will be "KD0EHH-1." You can view a live map of the flight at aprs.fi or take a look at the embedded map below. If all goes well we should reach an altitude of 90,000 feet MSL and land about 50 miles from our launch site. We are expecting to land around 1600 Zulu, keep an eye out for falling objects:)
