HabHub.org, also known as the HabHub High Altitude Balloon (HAB) Tracker, is a website that provides a platform for tracking high-altitude balloons and their flights. This site is widely used by amateur balloon enthusiasts, educators, and researchers to monitor and analyze the movements and data collected from balloons launched into the stratosphere.

Balloon Tracking

The primary function of HabHub.org is to track the real-time position and flight path of high-altitude balloons. Users can input the balloon's payload details, including its transmitter frequency and callsign, and then track its progress on a map as it ascends into the stratosphere and descends back to Earth.

Predictive Trajectory

 The website also offers predictive trajectory calculations, which can help users estimate the expected flight path of their balloon based on weather conditions and other factors. This feature is particularly useful for planning balloon launches.

Data Visualization

 HabHub.org provides various visualization tools and graphs that allow users to analyze the altitude, speed, and other telemetry data collected during a balloon's flight. This data can be valuable for educational purposes and scientific research.

Integration with Other Tools

 The HabHub platform is often used in conjunction with other HAB-related tools and software, such as the popular tracking software known as "DL-FLDIGI," which helps decode telemetry data sent by the balloon's transmitter.

Community and Resources

 HabHub.org has an active community of high-altitude balloon enthusiasts and offers resources, tutorials, and documentation to help newcomers get started with their balloon projects. Users can also share their experiences and findings on the site's forums.

Open Source

 Many of the tools and software associated with high-altitude ballooning, including some components of HabHub.org, are open source.
