*Parachute release mechanism successfully deployed both parachute and balloon
+
As the balloon and balloon hook were absent, it was clear that the parachute release mechanism successfully deployed, releasing both the parachute and the balloon. At some point, the key chain camera snapped off and was unfortunately lost. During the ascent, as evidenced by the GoPro images, the mirror had been turned upside down out of view of the camera. After that point, the payload itself was no longer visible in the GoPro images. Upon recovery, the GoPro still had battery power, but SD card was full. Additionally, the string holding up the plastic box was still intact, since the nichrome wire failed to cut due to a software bug.

Team Zeus carried it back down the path, attempting to brave the cows, but upon encountering them and their glowing eyes, they backed away and ran over a hill. On the way back, Kirill kicked a toad :(

Eventually ,the team made it back to the car an hour after recovery, then drove back to Stanford after a brief stop in the Modesto In-and-Out to take revenge on the cows and to consume their delicious flesh.
