+=== Debrief ===
+**Mission Complete**
+Payload was retrieved from the edge of a field near to Kettering, pictures, log file and kml file [[http://www.pegasushabproject.org.uk/pegasus5/| here]]. Reached 10155m after a flight of 1 hour and descended slowly by parachure after cutdown.
+== Things that worked well ==
+  * Cutdown
+  * Radio
+  * Phone
+  * Camera
+== Things to improve ==
+  * Don't underfill the balloon!
+  * Add "-" to morse code software to allow payload to move west of 0 longitude!
+  * Actually get compass to work (requires rewriting compass program)
+  * Fix zeusbot text system
+  * Fix upward facing camera
+===== Launch Two =====
+==== Launch Objectives ====
+  - Get compass to log bearing and also calculate rate of spin
+  - Get a panoramic shot every 10,000ft, using the calculated rate of spin and known time for a picture to be taken once triggered we could set it up to attempt to take pictures at all angles which could then be stiched together into a super panoramic.
+  - Finally fly mc2
+==== Launch Plans ====
+=== Tracking ===
+  * Same as Launch One - radio and phone performed well - few changes to the software should improve it e.g. addition of "-".
+=== Things to do ===
+  * Fix morse code gen program adding "-" //done//
+  * Have 2 speeds of morse code - 6wpm and 11wpm which will allow decoding by hand if required. //done//
+  * Rewrite compass program - get it to log to a file, calculate spin rate //nope//
+  * Write code for panoramic shots //todo//
+=== Launch Planning ===
