This day was recovery day, not only for our experiment but also for us team members. After celebrating the successful launch this was necessary. Shortly before dinner we got the information that our gondola will arrive after dinner.
Two of our team members, Milan and Pauline, were allowed near the gondola to unscrew the experiment from. The gondola looked good and we had no major damages, except for a small hole in the box, but luckily it did not touch anything.
We discussed wether we should retrieve the SD-card and read it right away or wait for the experiment to arrive in Kiel in two weeks. In the end the compromise was to take the SD-card out the next day, wrap it up properly and take it with us to Kiel. That way we do not risk to format the card accidentally and at the same time we do not have to wait until the experiment is shipped to Kiel.
Later that evening we caught a glimpse of the polar lights. Unfortunately they were not visible to the naked eye, but with the right settings on out cameras we took great pictures.
