Many thanks to all the folks listed below, this mission would not have happened without your support!

Parachute and balloon donated by the Geyling’s – http://rudysbeat.com
Color Services
The kind folks at SCS have contributed a cell phone which will SMS the GPS location data to the payload recovery team.
Mark Caviezel
Mark Caviezel is a GPS and APRS savant! He can read a GPS like most people read a kids book – amazing! It was due to Mark’s talent (and some crazy driving thru Oxnard neighborhoods) that we got to see the payload coming into land lazily twirling on the parachute!
