July 6 & 7 – CNNSP hosted the Great Plains Super Launch in Grand Island, NE this year.

GPSL 2007 was a success. Ten high altitude balloon groups from across the country launched 11 balloons, (one got away without its cargo), and all but one group recovered their equipment that day. We’re all looking forward to GPSL 2008, which will be located in Kansas City.

Want to Help?

 

If you’re interested in helping with any part of the flight from launch to recovery, we welcome your participation. We’re always in need of an extra pair of hands to help with filling the balloon. The chase and recovery can be exciting, as well. Who knows, maybe you’ll consider becoming an amateur radio operator (or ham) like the rest of us.

 

CNNSP is a non-profit group of amateur radio operators and friends. The entire program has been funded completely out of our own pockets for the enjoyment and education of sending several pounds of electronic gear to altitudes rarely reached by anyone but those involved in the space program. Every flight has its share of consumables that we must purchase. These include meteorological balloons, helium, batteries, and miscellaneous items. If you’re interested in making a contribution to our group, or just joining us for a flight please email me.
