An experimental payload with Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) dual frequency (978MHZ and 1090 MHz) receive/record and transmit capability was launched on a commercial stratospheric balloon from Tillamook, Oregon in December 2013 to a float altitude of 95,000 feet. During its time aloft the payload successfully received ADS-B messages from over 320 aircraft from up to 300 miles away. It also received Traffic Information Service-Broadcast (TIS-B) messages during ascent and descent and FIS-B messages at all times (including while at float altitude) from ADS-B ground based transceivers. During flight the payload and balloon were tracked remotely at all times in real-time using its ADS-B Out capability.
