a very short idea of what is the maximum height that the balloon has reached already. I believe it was just over 14,000 meters. It's been pretty controlling between around 13,500 meters plus or minus 100. So just over 14,000 and it went just below 13,000 at 1.1, it was 12,800. This is really good because higher than 14,000 it's probably going to burst, lower than say 12,000 it's probably going to get rain or at some point or ice and that can be a problem. So being in that 13,000 to 14,000 meters above sea level is ideal. So we're very happy. Eventually the ultraviolet light will be here along the balloon and that's that. But some of these balloons have gone for as long as three years. That's kind of the record.
