Balloonolo-3

Launch site: Pateira de Fermentelos, Águeda (Portugal)

Same team, great launch site. Balloon went up and we were able to track if for a long time.
The ballon circle around the Aveiro region, blow up at a very high altitude and fall directly into the Atlantic.


The last valid position I was able to receive was over Praia de Mira. Right after I guess the balloon exploded and went down int the ocean. I tought we had lost it but on the next day I got a call from a fisherman in Vagueira saying he had found it, caught in its fishnet.

Some of the recovered photos:
