IMET78754 Radiosonde observed on APRS-fi and tracked on the Internet.

(Click on images for larger view.)

I discovered  IMET78754 a Radiosonde on APRS-fi that was launched in Cape Town this afternoon.  My first observation of the balloon was at 14h54.  The relay station on APRS was ZS1SCI.  I tracked the balloon until 15h00 as this was the last transmission position by ZS1SCI.  At 14h54 the balloon moved in a Easterly direction at an altitude of 5944 m.  At 15h00 the balloon was still moving Easterly at 8 km/h and was 2033 m above ground.  I do not have any other information except for the info in the images below.  Maybe somebody can provide more information.  I wonder if it will be possible to track the Radiosonde in the Mossel Bay area?  Guess the only way to find out is to listen for the next Radiosonde launch....when??
