... a lot of things have changed. The RS92-SGP-sondes are not being followed by radar any longer, since they have an on-board GPS-receiver (receiver only, not a complete decoder!). Wind speed and direction are being calculated automatically by the ground station.
This sonde would have landed in Danmark, but the balloon was damaged during the launch and lost his gas early. At least the parachute was deployed and the sonde made a safe landing.
