We did it!

So today we launched and recovered our first ever high altitude balloon with payload! We have hundreds of photos and a few hours of videos to get through and process, but we thought we'd share with you the first few good ones!

Thank you very much to all that came to watch and support the launch and to our families who have helped and supported us so much during planning, launch and recovery. Also thank you to the guys at UKHAS for your help and advice. We had people all over the UK helping us track and even further afield in France, Belgium and Holland!
