+This is a A Level Student run project based in Worcester. Blog - http://habe.acudworth.co.uk/blog
-At the moment I am in the planning stage for our first launch (HABE 1). The name has been decided - HABE 1 The Explorer!
+HABE 1 was a partial success - full run down on my blog - http://habe.acudworth.co.uk/blog
-Our aim is to reach an altitude of around 30km and to test all the equipment. Once we have a working system then we can use it as a foundation to launch later experiments on.
+Now I have a working tracking system, different experiments can now be carried out. HABE 2 is planned for launch in early August.
 More info coming soon!

 The payload is now complete and final testing has commenced. If no significant problems are encountered then pending CAA clearance (still haven't received), helium and weather conditions HABE 1 should be set to launch in around 4 weeks from now.
