On Sunday while the eastern part of Canada was bracing for Kyles arrival the good people in Saskatoon Sask who are members of the Saskatoon ARC conducted what appears to have been their final successful flight of the year…
I mean successful because it looks like all 4 flights were recovered with payloads intact and any time you can launch a balloon and then get the toys back to play again I concider it a success.
If you check the page for Sabre 4 which was their latest flight although it does not mention the successful recovery we seem to have APRS DATA almost to landing which would make it easier for the recovery teams to find things and also they are shoving a video of the burst which would imply the payload has been recovered…
I look forward to their final report on the flight which hopefully will be in their excellent newsletter which is also available on line…
Once again CONGRATS on a job well done…
