Emutex Scholarship 2014 - Gerard Prunty's Weather Balloon Project

Gerard Prunty’s Weather Balloon project was the winner of the Emutex Software Innovator Of The Year Scholarship 2014. With the help of Emutex and using a combination of Intel Galileo, sensor and camera technology, Gerard launched his balloon into the stratosphere to collect some interesting weather measurements and some fantastic images.

Well done.  Was there any footage of the descent of the package after the balloon burst?  I think that would be interesting to see.
