Very high ascent rates. Payloads landed about 2 miles apart in corn fields.\\ Program due for transmission on BBC sometime Sept/Oct.\\ === INFINITY === 13/07/11 0930 UTC\\ 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.\\ === CLOUD1 === 10/07/2011 1030UTC.\\ Payload Recovered.\\ Launch location Brightwalton, Berkshire.
