> We launched a stratospheric balloon and despite the weather conditions
> (flight shortened to 8 useful minutes due to rain/ice) we recorded 7
> meteors. The flight lasted 90 minutes and the ground track was around 150km
> long. Maximum height was around 22km, though previous flights reached up to
> 32km (usual missions have 40-60 minutes with stable video).
>
> After 5 years of launches, we finally sent a colour and full HD
> videocamera. Previous attemps were sometimes failures (Geminids 2015,
> Draconids 2011) and some others kind of success (Geminids 2012,
> Camelopardalids 2014), but this time we are quite satisfied with the result
> of the mission and we hope to share more videos like this.
>
> I want to thank to quite some people of this list, specially for their
> appropiate remarks and suggestions, specially at IMC meetings.

> Best regards,
