A complete record of external temperature as measured by the data logger. The most interesting data points are highlighted. The curve represents the measured temperature during the preparation, the flight, the time the payload spent lying in a field after it landed, and the consecutive drive back until the data logger was switched off.

A reconstruction of the balloon's trajectory based on the received telemetry data. The balloon was launched in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm. It reached the highest point of 34,396 meters above the village of Mořkov where the balloon burst. Then it slowly descended to the fields near the village of Jinřichov 34 km from the launch site.

The complete payload. The box and most of the parts were carved out of polystyrene and wrapped in a painting tape. The payload consisted of the data logger to record temperature, a camera instructed to take photos and record video, and a transmitter with a GPS module programmed to broadcast the current position of the balloon.

The last moments before the launch. Under the balloon, you can see a parachute which will slow down the descent of the payload after the balloon bursts.
