The science crew on Kerbin Spaceport announce the Kuarq experiment is ready to return to Kerbin!  The Aurora Payload Vehicle detaches…

… and heads to the surface!

The spacecraft lands just 30k from the Spaceport !  Science staff at KSEA are pleased to report a great deal of science was recovered from the experiment!  Engineers note that the Payload Vehicle could use another design pass, as it handled very poorly during docking maneuvers.
