So far so good...looks like it has reached max altitude or struggling to cut into the faster moving air...both.
As odd as it sounds,this flight was weighted down as not to exceed 10000m since this new GPS is known to fail.
Typically,this design should have flown @ 10500m...extra solar cells were used for low solar angle.
One thing also seen is the solar voltage stopped working.Maybe a bad solder joint...but at least it gets power.
8280m seems to be the max altitude...stretching of balloons may occur over time.
