Last week, members of STARS launched a high altitude balloon to the edge of space with projects from our students in the StratoScience Lab program. Tracking telemetry was sent over 70cm using the Horus Binary v3 protocol. The Insta360 captured stunning views of the entire flight train as well as unobstructed views of of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

One of our rising stars poses with antennas she built as part of NEST's Radio Astronomy & Satellites Workshop. Students built various types of antennas to capture and digitize radio signals from planes, satellites, and astronomical objects. The 18-session workshop was developed and taught by Rye Hogan, a student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). Next year we plan to offer this workshop in 3-week modules from September through June.

STARS members work with our satellite communication station to attempt to break in on the ISS repeater during a pass on Saturday. Systems are working very well, but was a little too crowded this time!
