The balloon launch was yesterday, Tuesday. Apparantly the APRS did not work but 
another system on board called SPOT did work. It only shows the track, not the 
altitude. There is not much info yet but some data was downloaded directly as 
the balloon ascended, and the balloon and payload were apparently recovered. 
More info as soon as the crew returns, probably Wednesday.

Here is the link to the SPOT track.
