First of the new “mini-missions”, where we used very small balloons (300 gram) and launch from a local spot. These mini-missions are used for testing new payloads or ideas. This was a test of a new cutdown system (DTMF board), which failed - resulting in us having to chase the balloon about 30 miles. The culprit was a loose wire (the screw terminal was loose).
