Preparation for Termination

All payloads, except 10, were powered down at about 16:00 MDT today. We also worked with the MSU group to close payload 10 as best we can. CosmoCam batteries are very weak and it is currently off. If you attach to the video stream you will therefore get static. However, we pointed the camera to the balloon and will turn it back on just before the terminate command is executed. The view of HASP falling away from the balloon should be quite spectacular. Watch for it!
