The OM3KSI radio club in cooperation with the Slovak Space Activities Organization is preparing for Saturday, May 15, 2021 at approximately 8 a.m. our time. Stratospheric balloon launch from Malé Bielice airport near Partizánské. The balloon will carry several experiments and will also be part of it SSTV beacon in the 144 MHz band. The stratospheric balloon will be launched on the occasion of the anniversary of the launch of the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into space. On April 12 of this year, exactly 60 years have passed since this historical moment.
The following transmitters are placed on the balloon:

Transmitter for telemetry
The transmitter for telemetry transmits basic data such as GPS coordinates, height.
Type: radiosonde RS-41
Frequency: 434.650 MHz
Power: 10 mW
Mode: RTTY 50bd 7N1
SSTV beacon OM0MVX
The beacon transmitter OM0MVX will broadcast during the SSTV flight images for the anniversary of Yuri Gagarin.
Type: Dorji DRA818V
Frequency: 144.500 MHz
Power: 1 W
Mode: SSTV PD120
Experimental LoRa transmitter
The experimental LoRa transmitter will transmit basic telemetry data such as position, height, temperature and pressure in the 868 MHz band. The 9DOF sensor will provide information about the orientation and accelerations of the radiosonde.
We recommend using the DL-FLDIGI software to decode the telemetry data about the position of the radiosonde.
