Specialist Bob goes 33km out to sea to launch in Area H-MJW and collect temperature data for Rokea. high winds from the north keep the balloon out to sea after launching close to land

MSV Lymun anchored offshore after dropping off the Mk5 payload yesterday, is now taking on Bob & crew to launch a balloon just 33km away

winds are strong out of the north so although bit.ly/Area_H-MJW is near shore no chance of land recovery, Bill & UTVs staying home

we had balloon launch a few mins ago, AOS shortly afterwards @ 345m. Lymun is tracking its progress south while we track progress to 16.5km

envelope failure right on schedule as outside pressure drops below 5kPa, Lymun positioned nearby to recover in 1-2m seas southeast of KSC

good balloon recovery, hopefully someday the hi-alt variants will be just as reliable! Lymun will return payload & remain for range ops tmrw
