+# About
+
+The communications project will deliver a balloon payload that allows
+receipt of [telemetry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telemetry) and
+other payload data as well allow command of the balloon systems as
+needed. Communications are commonly delivered over [Amateur
+Radio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio) frequencies by
+licensed operators. Networks like
+[APRS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Packet_Reporting_System)
+are favored for some balloon-related communication.
+
+These team members will also be responsible for ensuring one or more
+suitable ground stations are in place to reliably receive data from the
+communications systems. This team is encouraged to partner with the
+[HacDC Amateur Radio club](http://www.w3hac.org) and [other amateur
+radio organizations](http://www.arrl.org/find-a-club) and enthusiasts.
+This team will also facilitate logistical communications primarily for
+the launch and recovery teams.
