== Notes and Details ==<br />
<br />
Suspected damage to Joey's antenna as reception at altitude was non-existent, but was fine on the ground before launch and after recovery. Further investigation needed. Wombat performed perfectly.<br />
<br />
Squirrel flew on this launch as a datalogging payload only (no telemetry systems enabled).</div>
