just 335m short of the water (1.4km from the launchpad) the payload has landed safely & is being recovered by our UTV teams. Sry Tongjess 😬

we have signal acquisition, telemetry shows balloon in nominal ascent rate of 5m/s passing through 700m altitude. Will ascend to 16.5km
Kerbal Space Agency
@KSA_MissionCtrl
ascent of the KerBalloon was without issue, unit has fallen from max altitude after envelope failure & we have chute deploy confirmation

@KSA_MissionCtrl
Tongjess will be collecting the payload & returning straight to us afterwards so we expect to hear from them sometime in the next 1.5-2 hrs

@KSA_MissionCtrl
we've been hailed by MSV Tongjess & it will be delivering our payload to us shortly. Another mission success for the KerBalloon Program!
