🇮🇸Þrátt fyrir gott starf Björgunarsveitarinnar Hafliða og endurheimtarteymis Skyrora hefur enn ekki tekist að staðsetja báða hluta Skylark Micro eldflaugarinnar sem féllu í sjóinn við Langanes.

However, from today we have and will continue for the next few days our search and learn how to improve future recovery operations.

Despite the ongoing heroic efforts of the Langanes Search and Rescue and Skyrora Recovery teams, we have unfortunately been unsuccessful in our efforts to locate the Skylark Micro booster and sustainer stages from our successful launch. https://t.co/weUbzutG6B

RT @astro_timpeake: Congratulations to the team at @Skyrora_Ltd on another great milestone today.

Here is a video from the spectator area! https://t.co/Q6Z6MZSKah

We have lift off! Skylark Micro Launch I has successfully been launched. Our tech team are now working on launch recovery. More photos and videos to follow!🚀 #Launch #Rocket #Liftoff https://t.co/dLwN6qSneQ

Skylark Micro Mission I is ready for launch. Weather conditions are good and the team is ready to go! Although, there will not be any live stream, we will work quickly to provide the photos and video footage post launch. Stay tuned. 🚀🚀🇮🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #removebeforeflight https://t.co/Jc7RE0pXYL

Launch update: weather balloon launched. So far, so good! 🎈🚀 https://t.co/VmQZbDYR3R

Launch update: the mid and upper level winds are looking good today! But fingers crossed the low level winds stay good! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 Stay tuned! 🚀 https://t.co/pwcfFNM9Jx

The weather balloon showed that the wind speeds were in violation of the launch criteria so Skylark Micro Mission is postponed for today. Instead, we invited the spectators for a visit including the Mayor of Langanesbyggd, Jonas-Egilsson. https://t.co/EZ8FLSYJW9

Weather Balloon launched! The telemetry device onboard will now tell us the wind speeds and altitudes. If the data matches our predictions, the mid-level winds will unfortunately violate the launch criteria for today. But maybe the odds will be in our favour. Stay tuned. #Safety https://t.co/2NpC7lLqVV

Launch update: the mid-level winds are still not in our favour but we will be launching a weather balloon this morning to confirm our predictions. Stay tuned! 🇮🇸🚀

Fingers crossed for the winds of fortune tomorrow! 🤞🏼 Skylark Micro Mission I - ready when you are! #safetyfirst https://t.co/Wyt3DMB3sT

Yesterday, a number of local school children and students came to visit our mission command centre to learn more about the Skylark Micro Mission I. Hopefully we have inspired them to look to a career in the space industry in the future! #STEM #Educate #RocketLaunch https://t.co/N72zrseMLm

Launch update: Today, the mid level winds are unfortunately not in our favour. However, the weather is predicting a viable launch window tomorrow so keep your fingers crossed, and at least we have some beautiful sunsets to watch while our tech team continue to prepare for launch! https://t.co/M4HytQraZg
