Distant Observers
| This page will post predictions for ALL locations contained in
the Distant Observers Database. If your location does not appear below and
you want to be added to the database, send along your information, latitude,
longitude and altitude. When submitting for a city, pick the center of town
as the lat, long as this will be most beneficial to all folks in your area
who may wish to follow our flights. At any appreciable distance, 5 or
10 miles from town center isn't going to really make much difference in
predictions now that I'm posting predicts for all locations.

Time in Elapsed Minutes after Launch
Maximum Elevation Calculations
Notes:
|
Previously, only stations where the
balloon actually rose above the local horizon were included in the printout.
However, that proved confusing. Now, every station in the database is
included and the time, azimuth, range and elevation at maximum elevation (or
closest approach) is given for all stations including those for whom the
balloon always remains below the horizon.
This may actually be beneficial in two ways. 1.) You know for sure if
your location is being used for these predictions and 2.) You can see just
how far below the horizon the balloon rises to. Because the radio horizon is
more distant than the visual horizon (visual used in these predictions) then
you might actually be able to listen for a contact while the balloon is
below the horizon. Another benefit. If the balloon almost clears your
horizon and during the flight it actually ascends to an altitude higher than
predicted, you'll have a pretty good idea if you can work the airborne
payload systems. |
