bit.ly/KerBalloonProg… has finally landed their dream contract of an expedition out to the Badlands to send up both a high and low-altitude balloon laden with science instruments. Bob & Bill slightly bummed they can't tag along

KerBalloon crew have departed Umbarg in an airship bound for bit.ly/Sector_X1-37A in the heart of the Badlands, a low-lying hot and inhospitable area that few care to explore. They will return next week. Safe travels!

weather is worse out at sea apparently - airship returned to Umbarg after being battered by winds so much the captain was fearful of the gondola's structural integrity where it attached to the gas envelope. They will set back out tomorrow for another attempt

with maritime reports still showing strong storms out at sea yesterday, the KerBalloon team waited until better reports came in today to set out once more for their trek across the ocean via airship to reach the Badlands under bit.ly/Sector_X1-37A

KerBalloon mission to the Badlands has returned after a successful trip. It was night for them during the Ascension launch but unfortunately it was too low over the northern horizon for them to see it re-enter

although we're hoping to hear from the recovery airship today, chances are that since it hasn't reported back yet then it's on a hunt for a crash site somewhere in the yellow area. We can only make a best guess of rocket heading at re-entry based on data we have prior to LOS
