Releasing from a MSV over Zone 564KL for Probodobodyne Inc, the team uses UTVs to recover the payload after its flight into the upper atmosphere, then battle a sea storm on the way home

after a day of rest & another for turnaround the high-altitude KerBalloon team is back out to sea for another release, this time to the north over bit.ly/Zone_564KL. Once again there's a chance the balloon could drift over land so UTVs are along for the ride as well

high-altitude KerBalloon crew have pulled back into port a day late. They had a successful release & recovery but a bad storm on the way back washed a UTV overboard that wasn't properly tied down. At least 3 UTVs are required for a safe overland traversal and now we have only 2

CFO Mortimer has already allowed for the purchase of a new Utility Task Vehicle however despite our low funds because otherwise we are just looking at more cost overhead in the long run to charter airships for nearby land releases
