This might be an inspiration to others: In the HAB group at google I found this message :
We started a local project here, in center of our capital city, Budapest: Try to put on water of Danube a simple, free floating buoy with a telelmetry transmitter. The main aims are: - to reuse radiosonde hw with amateur software - to test a simple, very cheap waterproof box, as cover of the electronics, and a "platform" for another tests. - try to follow in different way this moving device: We build "light-weight", mobile RPi2 based receiver We test our universirie,s based Satellite Control Station, ready to control our small pockecube sat, Smog-1 We try to use the "traditional" receiver setups in car, to follow the buoy: rtty with dl-fldigi and aprs with a mobile iGate We are in the last tests, play to "put on water" it on Saturday morning, 20 maj. Basically it is a chellange for us to receive its telemetry, but there are some options to follow it:
DUNA3-12 on aprs.fi DUNA3 on tracker.habhub.org Our Satellite Ground Station,s activity is here: http://gnd.bme.hu/ham.php its websdr receiver is here: http://152.66.73.241:33333/ To real time control the parabola receiver there is a newly developed small RTTY receiver on RPI2. It receives only the coordinates of the buoy, and upload them to the control server. You can follow this data here: http://152.66.80.46/ Based on this data flow you can follow the buoy on the google map here: https://www.google.hu/maps/place/47%C2%B029%2717.3%22N+19%C2%B004%2716.9%22E/@47.48813,19.07137,17z And you can follow the received signal on our open webrx system, here: http://152.66.80.46:8075/
The project has a small web page, mainly in Hungarian, but with pictures: https://sites.google.com/site/dunaibojak/
Thank you for your attention, best wishes: t.janos hg5apz
