polarjacksw asked: When looking on your screenshot of your Robot Visualizer, we can see "Papa Mau", the missing glider, not far from "Piccard Maru" with a date 8 March (after the end of data available from iridium). Is that meaning you are able to continue to follow the "Papa Mau" glider with GPS data and no iridium emission ? How did you collect data ? Did you plan to rescue also this...

polarjacksw asked: For the "PowerStatus" dataset, there is a strange thing about "Solar1" & "Solar2" (milliwatts) since the 2012-02-11. A couple of values are negative and lower than -32000 during the daylight (ex: Fontaine Maru @ 2012-02-11T21:51:42Z Solar1=12917.0, @ 2012-02-11T22:51:42Z Solar1=-32009.0 and @2012-02-11T23:51:36Z Solar1=28216.0). When looking the variation, it...

Fontaine and Benjamin arrived under their own steam at our test area off the Big Island near Kona, and Ben was greeted with some fanfare from the local press.
Piccard Maru got pretty close but ran...
PacX HP Touchpad App
Easily one of the coolest parts about projects where you open your data to the internet, like the PacX challenge, is seeing what the community comes up with. So we’re proud to promote one of the first PacX apps (that I’ve seen) built outside of Liquid Robotics.
The app was created by Polar Jack Software, an independent developer in France. He is easily our biggest fan as sometimes it...
polarjacksw asked: Where the Gliders are going ? Since 2 or 3 days, the Cap has changed for Fontaine Maru, Piccard Maru and Benjamin. There are not going to the buoy south of Hawaii through the Alenuihaha Channel between the two main islands, but it seems that there are going right to the main island.
