<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Telemetry and position updates have
been restored. SOLAR1 is now updating position in APRS as an
object and is also logging telemetry once per minute. Definitions
are being transmitted every 30 minutes. You can see the results
of this effort at:<br>

I'm anxious to see how the telemetry graphs work out over time,
especially the power ones!<br>

added feature of the RF range circle based on their altitude. <br>
<br>
If I have time later today, I hope to add telemetry for station
SOLAR1 to include their Altitude, motor and solar power, battery
charge, and outside air temp. aprs.fi's graphs of this data
over time should be interesting enough that my effort would be
worthwhile. I'd love to include airspeed, but I can only do 5
values and the speed is already on the map (I'm doing altitude
because the air temp and power stuff might be interesting to
compare with that value). <br>

PS. If you want to gate this object to your local RF, remember
that the object (o/) filter wants full 9 character names, so
you'll have to use SOLAR1*. Or just gate all packets from
KJ4ERJ-15 as it doesn't generate many (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=KJ4ERJ-15&limit=25&view=normal">http://aprs.fi/?c=raw&call=KJ4ERJ-15&limit=25&view=normal</a>)
<br>
<br>
PPS. For APRSIS32 Development version users, you can gate this
to RF with the following sequence: <br>
<br>
Control-G and enter a filter of o/SOLAR1* +t/p <br>
Control-I and confirm your intent to make the test filter your
(non-persistent) IGate filter <br>
<br>
Of course, you'll probably also want either b/KJ4ERJ-15 or
o/SOLAR1* in your Configure / General / Add Filter unless you
just want to see the object when it otherwise gets into your
existing (range) filter(s). <br>

Solar Impulse will be taking off from Lambert-St. Louis
International <br>
Airport (MO) for Washington Dulles (VA) tomorrow Friday June
14th <br>
around 4 AM CDT (UTC-5). Solar Impulse will do a pit stop at
<br>
Cincinnati Municipal Lunken Airport (OH) in order to change
pilots, <br>
rest and take-off the following morning with better weather
conditions <br>
on Saturday June 15th around 8 AM EDT (UTC-4) and land in the
nation’s <br>
capital sometime after midnight EDT (UTC-4). <br>
<br>

website <br>
<br>
After the Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Reddit.com, our pilots
André and <br>
Bertrand will do a live Hang-Out, from the air and from the
ground, <br>
with Google Science Fair. The Hang-Out will open a couple of
hours <br>
after take-off and will last 30 minutes; the exact time is yet
to be <br>
determined. If you want to join this unique event, click here.
The <br>
Hang-Out will be moderated by Olga Garcia of Google Science
Fair. The <br>
Hang Out will be an international event with Olga moderating
from <br>
Austin (TX), one pilot in St. Louis (MO), one in the air,
Gary, the <br>
technical coordinator from Scotland, and David of Solar
Impulse TV <br>
from Payerne (Switzerland)! <br>
<br>
Please be aware that the flight schedule could change before
Friday if <br>
the Flight Director orders to fly another day or change the
itinerary. <br>
You can regularly check the Solar Impulse website for the
latest news <br>
concerning the flight or other updates. <br>
<br>
Reaching the capital of the United States is very symbolic.
Solar <br>
Impulse will present its Clean Generation initiative, meant to
inspire <br>
people and incite politicians, policy makers, businessmen and
the <br>
public to adopt clean technologies. Secretary of Energy Ernest
