We will launch a site soon where you will find detailed data about participants and their statistics. This number does not involve the packets received by our ground station, which was more than 1500 during the first 24 hours. Also not involved are the reports sent by email before today, as the processing of these packages is not done yet. Meanwhile, a quick exercise for those interested: the size of a single data packet is 64 byte. What is the amount of data which was collected so far? 🙂
