 +Both payloads recovered\\ 
 +Launch from EARS\\ 
 +Cat (Helium) xxxxx m/xxxxx ft.\\ 
 +Budgie (Hydrogen) xxxxx m/xxxxx ft.(Watch the program to find out!)\\ 
 +Launch for James May's Man Lab program. Very high ascent rates. Payloads landed about 2 miles apart in corn fields.\\ 
 +Program due for transmission on BBC sometime Sept/Oct.\\

 +Payload Recovered.\\ 
 +Launch from Boston Spa School\\ 
 +34469m/113087 ft.\\ 
 +Interesting launch all was well until the balloon failed to burst as predicted. Balloon then spent the next 4 hours coming down very slowly, a leak suspected. Landed just north of Bolton.\\

Using Jupiter GPS with an alleged max altitude limit of 60000feet however payload successfully achieved 30114m/98799ft.\\ Some telemetry errors resulted in a fairly chaotic tracker map, issue seems to be coding and wasn't related to the prime meridian.\\Camera failed but video ok. +10/07/2011 1030UTC.\\ Payload Recovered.\\ Launch location Brightwalton, Berkshire.
