I almost had the opportunity to see this launch, but my trip to Kiruna, Sweden was postponed. Some of my co-workers were there to witness it and forwarded some pictures. There's still snow on the ground there!
I heard that the payload recovery system failed. Several microgravity experiments were onboard and only the real-time telemetry was captured.
