Long Duration Flight Telemetry
Abstract
Over the horizon telemetry is necessary when flying long duration missions in remote areas beyond the reach of ground stations. This is particularly necessary for trans-Atlantic flights. To track balloons in remote areas it is also useful to have two-way command and control via a satellite-based system. A description of how to roll your own Iridium satellite tracker will be covered in detail.
