Payload Recovered.
Launch from Boston Spa School

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

Payload Recovered.
Launch location Brightwalton, Berkshire. 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.
