PongSat Return Mission
Details
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!
I just received a box from JP Aerospace with PongSats enclosed!
If you were at the PongSat Workshop last September 26, 2015 you'll be happy to hear that your PongSats are now back with us. I created a post on your meetup to set a day/time/place where we can get together so you may receive your experiments and find out what happened!
If you created a 'control' as well as sending one to space, go ahead and bring that along. We can meet someplace which works for everyone anytime in the near future. I don't want to keep them from you any longer than I necessary.
Please visit the appropriate link below with your best ideas for getting together again so you can have your PongSat experiments back!

I would like to have as many of you gathered for the 'Return Mission' as possible. Feel free to bring friends - the more the merrier.
If you would like to hear what the PongSat Worshop participants enjoyed on this journey, please join us as well!
If you would like another Workshop scheduled, we are certainly interested in helping you send your experiment to space!
It would be cool to do even more elaborate experiments in the future. The galaxy's the limit (maybe)!
It's All About Action!
Last September, we offered a PongSat Workshop: https://www.meetup.com/EverydaySpacer-com5/events/223972709/
As far as we know, our ping pong ball satellites flew to space at the end of 2015 and arrived safely back on Earth.
As of this posting, they are being processed for return from JP Aerospace (JP said that they are editing the video you will be receiving).
Once we have them back from JP Aerospace, we want to get together and Return your payloads back to you!
THE DATE OF THIS MEETUP WILL PROBABLY CHANGE!
Be aware, the date of this meetup will probably change because we don't know when the PongSats will arrive here and we'd like to accommodate your schedule as much as possible. It would be lovely if the whole group could assemble again to receive their experiments back, though it may or may not be possible.
This is just a place holder until we get more information - from JP and from you!
Until then, we'll update the page below...

So that you know as much as we do about your PongSat(s) and can plan accordingly.
If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment below or call. I'm happy to send you a message with my phone number!
