Bob & Bill heading aboard MSV Tongjess to sail ~430km southeast and release a low-altitude KerBalloon. Bill says he's working to overcome his seasickness since they'll be doing plenty of space capsule water recovery training later this year

assuming good seafaring conditions MSV Tongjess should have by now reached its destination. Low-altitude balloons are very weather tolerant so after a release & recovery next sunrise they should start back - we expect them in port by tomorrow

although we had hoped to hear of MSV Tongjess arriving back at port by now, an extra day at sea was not unexpected if adverse weather impacted the mission somehow

MSV Tongjess pulled into port earlier today, they did indeed contend with some nasty weather on the return trip but release & recovery of the KerBalloon went off fine before that. Bob & Bill will be back at KSC with the payload tomorrow
