AeroPac's virtual classroom is up and running
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/aeropacs-show
Just in time for the 12th annual ARLISS (arliss.org) launch (with over 40 M flights of student robotic satellites) and the AeroPac 100k' XPRS launch (www.aeropac.org), the AeroPac Virtual Classroom will be on the air. Come see the altitude attempts at XPRS with our 100k' waiver!
A three year AeroPac project - the Virtual Classroom is a mobile ground station that provides 1.2m satellite (or 3/4G cellular where available) Internet backhaul - supporting WiFi Internet, VoIP, streaming video, HAM and GMRS voice and digital data (WiFi, 2m/70cm APRS and 900 MHz FHSS) telemetry and tracking. Supported by the work and donations of the AeroPac team, from Professor Lynn Cominsky's team at Sonoma State University and by grants from the California Space Authority and a kind van donation from ABC-TV in LA. Inspired by the original idea of Professor Bob Twiggs - the inventor of the CanSat and CubeSat.
We will be streaming live video of both Black Rock launches (and a Twitter feed) from 9/13-9/19 at www.aeropac.org. And on occasion will provide live GPS tracking of selected flights.
Come join us! This will be a feature at future AeroPac launches (and other launches possibly as well) bringing the playa to the Internet.
Email me for me details about the capability ..
