Bob & Bill working to wrap up a rush-job contract for KerBalloon signed yesterday to ship out a high-alt unit to measure a big storm system

@KSA_MissionCtrl
the storm is so massive they will have to launch several km away and not even attempt a recovery - data will be recorded on the ship
Kerbal Space Agency
@KSA_MissionCtrl
we've already ordered the reusable parts to replace what will be lost, Reaction Systems agreed to cover this as part of their contract

Bob is aboard MSV Tongjess, which stuck around since Tues, & heading out to bit.ly/Zone_72R72X. Mission will be out of comm contact

@KSA_MissionCtrl
Bob should be in position sometime around now 212km SW for balloon release, we'll hear how mission went tomorrow when MSV Tongjess returns
Kerbal Space Agency
@KSA_MissionCtrl
that should have been SE not SW. We were just checking to see if anyone was really paying attention
