Releasing two balloons from the deck of a maritime vessel, the notoriously bad weather found over Area F0SPD and Site Z1-P give trouble for this mission on behalf of Probodobodyne Inc

low-alt KerBalloon team has set sail out of Umbarg for the journey to release & recover two balloons in the waters to the north. There's a chance we could pickup telemetry from the release over Site Z1-P through Kravass if it does not drift too far north

we did pick up a few minutes of low-alt balloon telemetry routed to us from Kravass as it neared its maximum 16.5km altitude before it was lost prior to envelope failure, which means the balloon was drifting northwards and fell below the horizon

low-altitude KerBalloon pulled back into port a day late, lost one of their balloons due to stormy weather but successfully recovered the other. Sea missions always run the highest risk for losing payloads, which is often why they send up more than one
