Due to our messages being only 50 baud, the payload could only send down one telemetry string every 15 seconds. Therefore it may have originally looked as if our highest altitude was infact 33,116m, from message 10140. However having recovered the payload we’ve got the second-by-second GPS log back, and here is the log of the burst!

Giving us a highest achieved altitude of 33.158KM: which is (at the time of blogging) third place in the UKHAS UK Records.
