What happened to the ZS6SRC Pico Balloon?


The Secunda Radio Club launched a Pico balloon at the Trichardt Model Aircraft Club on Saturday 24 May 2025.  Click HERE for more information on the balloon project.

Today is the 27 May 2025 and the latest dashboard indication is that the balloon  was last seen: 2 days, 17 hours, 22 mins ago.  It would appear that the balloon is stationary as indicated on the dashboard images.  If anybody knows if the balloon is still active and in the air we would like to hear from you.  Info can be forwarded by clicking HERE.
