Nova 3 Found
On Sunday 7th January 2007 UKHAS were meant to launch a train of payloads however due to electronics failure no module was in a position to launch. Instead we attached a PIC controlled cutdown on a timer, the old Peg III radio beacon, a radar reflector and parachute to a 350g balloon and called it Nova 3.
On Tuesday 23 January 2007 Nova 3 was found in Germany near to the Danish Border at: 54.7442 N, 8.4665 E a distance of 620km from the launch site.
The payload has been arranged to be sent back so more information when it arrives home.
