September 2024 Launch
The IES Eusebio Barreto school in La Palma, Canary Islands, has build and launched another miniboat! This one is named Mar A Delta, and was launched on September 12, 2024.
A Quick but Successful Voyage!
The miniboat was picked up by a whale watch boat on September 16, not far from where the miniboat was launched! Since the boat had onboard sensors, all of this information will be helpful to the Project DELTA researchers. Also, the students have been successful with their mission!
The boat was successfully recovered and a relaunch is being planned.

Data from the Onboard Sensor Pack:
The location reports from the main GPS will show on the map at the top of this page here (which updates hourly with new positions if available). Here below is where you can see the data reporting from the second GPS which is connected to a custom sensor package. In addition to reporting location with a secondary GPS tracker, this system is also collecting air temperature, water temperature, and orientation of the boat. Please note that the map below will only the last 7 days of data and may include invalid points and data. If you are interested in looking at the data in a different format from the whole voyage, contact us.
