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 ===

10/07/2011 1030UTC.\\ 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.
