Is a directional antenna (other than radar) used?
No
Exhibit submitted:
No
(a) Width of beam in degrees at the half-power point:
(b) Orientation in horizontal plane:
(c) Orientation in vertical plane:
Will the antenna extend more than
6 meters above the ground, or if mounted on an existing building,
will it extend more than 6 meters above the building, or will
the proposed antenna be mounted on an existing structure other
than a building?
Yes
(a) Overall height above ground to tip of antenna in meters:
20726.40
(b) Elevation of ground at antenna site above mean sea level in meters:
448.00
(c) Distance to nearest aircraft landing area in kilometers:
13.00
(d) List any natural formations of
existing man-made structures (hills, trees, water tanks, towers,
etc.) which, in the opinion of the applicant, would tend to shield
the antenna from aircraft:
The antenna will be fixed to a high altitude balloon operating at 50,000ft to 68,000ft, above commercial aviation cruising altitudes. During payload ascent/descent an ADS-B transponder will be active notifying aircraft in the vicinity of the balloon/payload position. The operations team is in close communications with FAA representatives during critical phases of the flight.
