If the Balloon is running Linux, it's all open source software that the
Chinsese (and every other nation) would have access to anyway. I
wouldn't worry about this.
If you launched the balloon using Mac, please send me money.
And if you launched your balloon running Windows, maybe it went down due
to forced update. :)

How on earth would you go about making sure this is not the case??
Do you have a a list or something?? I can't find one...

this actually brings up a good point, it is illegal to send devices
with very current encryption to foreign nations, I know you would not
think there is anything on a balloon that is privileged but there are
many things installed on operating systems in the US that are not for
export. I would think some care should be used to make sure that a
balloon once captured by the Chinese or other nation, would not
contain any proprietary software or encryption algorithms.
just thinking out loud from a computer security point of view.

Quick Update……
After several weeks of flight from the BVARC Field Day site,
it appears we haven’t heard from the balloon in over a week
now, so it’s probably down for the count.
It was certainly a very interesting flight with all the
backwards trips it was making. 😊
As we close the books on this one, we are already testing more
trackers as I type, as well as testing a NEW
tracking/reporting application script for extracting and
propagating the information into all the formal reporting sites.
So much more to come. Below is a snapshot of the full flight.
Many thanks for allowing the South Texas Balloon Launch Team
participate in Field Day with you guys.
All the best,
Walter/K5WH
