EOSS-51
Special Notes:
We could use a little assistance at the launch site. Check into the preflight net Friday night (freq below) to volunteer or send Mike Manes your info. Here's something from Mike:
"Any extra help we can muster at the launch site after 0630 will be very much appreciated! In particular, someone who can run APRS-SA to track the balloon over a Colo map would be a real plus for our distinguished visitors from CU, CSXT and the Discovery Channel."
There is a deck at the launch site which will be used by ground station personnel. It has a STRICTLY limited capacity of 20 folks, so count before you climb.
