GPS tracking for ballooning

GPS tracking for ballooning involves installing a device that uses satellite signals to determine the balloon's exact location in real-time. The GPS device sends continuous position data to a ground station or a pilot’s mobile device, allowing them to monitor altitude, speed, and trajectory. This technology enhances safety by providing precise tracking during flight, helping with navigation, and enabling quick recovery if the balloon lands unexpectedly. It is a reliable, real-time system that improves situational awareness for pilots and support teams, ensuring a safer and more controlled ballooning experience.
