Abstract
Over the horizon telemetry is necessary when flying long duration missions in remote areas beyond the reach of ground stations. This is particularly necessary for trans-Atlantic flights. To track balloons in remote areas it is also useful to have two-way command and control via a satellite-based system. A description of how to roll your own Iridium satellite tracker will be covered in detail.
