Update #13 - 45+ days since launch.
Follow the SHAC JOTA-JOTI Balloon with us at APRS.fi (Radio Call Sign W5BSA).

The balloon data still shows it is flying high at 48,000+ feet in altitude, but looks to be in virtually the same space as it was 12 days ago. Picture 2 shows the movement in the past 24 hours...not much, but it is still moving.

Update #11 - 26+ days since launch.
Follow the SHAC JOTA-JOTI Balloon with us at APRS.fi (Radio Call Sign W5BSA).

The balloon is flying high at 47,100 feet over the South American continent. After crossing over land in Columbia a few days ago, it turned southeast and traveled over a corner of Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, and is now over Bolivia. Picture 2 show a predicted flight path heading north. What a world traveler! Who can count how many countries it has flown over since Day 1?
