we are planning to realize at least one test flight with a balloon in order to test some things.

this can easily be made into a public event; good effective event for general public;
a good possibility for involvement and participation of interested people (receiving signal, tracing, following and recovert the satellite;
additionally send a fm-transmitter along and each radio becomes a receiver.
