#weatherballoon — Public Fediverse posts

🎈 Oh, the joy of chasing a weather balloon across #Montana, only to find out that GPS wasn't invited to the party. A gripping tale of high-tech algae whisperers who turned pixelated dreams into... well, more pixels. 📸🔍

Highlights from our high-altitude balloon flight OH3HAB #9. The weather conditions at different altitudes varied heavily: from tiny snowflakes to rain and then back to sunshine! Flight landing spot was perfect: right next to buildings at a farm!

Thanks to @OH3CUF for recording and editing the video!

The remains of a Weather balloon- with its transmitter still attached. Been seeing a few of these washing in over the summer months 🤔

🚀🛰️ Oh joy, another app that promises to turn your grandma's attic into NASA's mission control. Because we all know amateur radio enthusiasts have nothing better to do than decode weather balloons and listen to TETRA voices like they're the newest Netflix series. 📡💾

Weather Balloon Captures Airliner Whizzing Underneath It at 500 MPH https://petapixel.com/2025/04/25/weather-balloon-captures-airliner-whizzing-underneath-it-at-500-mph/ #weatherballoon #jetairliner #360°camera #airliner #airplane #insta360 #News

My son recently launched a #WeatherBalloon with a #camera and some instruments. This #photo is from about 30km up just before the #balloon burst. It's really cool that you can begin to see the curvature of the #Earth from this height and see the darkness of #space. I was on an airliner in this area on the same day and saw some of the same clouds and frozen rivers & lakes my son captured in his photos.

We got a reprogrammed RS-41 radiosonde working with our ground station today:

A different one failed to be received on our last weather balloon launch by the #Villanova #CubeSat Club the other week.

Wrote a somewhat lengthy report of our latest high-altitude balloon flight OH3HAB #7, which had a sensor for ionizing radiation and a photo transmitter onboard.

Lots of stunning photos, technical details and videos included, so go check it out 👉 https://0xfeed.tech/2023/09/making-tracking-of-the-high-altitude-balloon-flight-oh3hab-7-a-community-effort.-watch-the-epic-landing-in-a-river/

"A Swiss #WeatherBalloon had to climb to an unprecedented 5,300 metres (17,400ft) before the temperature fell to 0C (32F), as a late summer #heatwave and wildfires continue to pummel swaths of continental #Europe.

The 0C line averaged 2,570 metres above sea level from 1991 and 2020, fluctuating between 1,000 and 2,000 metres in winter, and 3,000 and 4,000 metres in summer."

It's a bad time to be a weather balloon.

What if whomever is sending the objects over North American airspace is doing so to test and document our response capabilities and methodologies?

It was a 'Chinese weather balloon' and so were ALL THOSE OTHER 'uap' we've been forced to show you in the last 5 years.

I would prefer the pentagon be more specific..
