Stratofox update ... Ian Kluft gave a report at the recent Space Access ' 06 meeting on the activities of the Stratofox Tracking and Recovery team: Presentation Slides from Stratofox presentation at Space Access 2006.

He also sent this list of upcoming projects:

  • We'll be at the UP Aerospace launch in NM. Last we heard is it's expected to be some time in July. The final date depends on the NM spaceport construction progress.

  • We'll be at AeroPAC's HPR launches at Black Rock whenever they're trying 100K shots. AeroPAC's launches are June 14-16 "MudRock", Aug 4-6 "Aeronaut", and Sept 22-24 "XPRS".

  • Of course To100K is the official club project to attempt a 100,000ft record, as you saw in my presentation.

  • Another group of AeroPAC members call themselves the "99K Team" since they're trying for the same thing but don't want to act intimidating. :-) It's a friendly competition.

  • The Stratofox WiFi-Net project will begin this year. We already have the equipment thanks to a sponsor. But it'll still take some effort to locate contacts with a permanent Internet link on the valley floor in Reno.
