Firefly (FHALP-3)
Firefly (FHALP-3) was launched from EARs on 26/04/08 attached to two balloons (to test potential Atlas setups). After a rough launch the flight computer cut out after a few minutes though the payload could be tracked visually and by the radio beacon for over 30 minutes. After this contact was lost however on landing sms were received and the payload was recovered in a field: 52.322 0.888.
