Update December 2, 2018
Results of the balloon launch to be discussed here (January 19, 2019) ...
But admission to that conference is strictly controlled - by reservation & acceptance only.
This gentleman (Alberto Pleguezuelos) was rejected because he does not tow the flat Earth party line. He debunks and contests it.
"Well, they have already answered me about the meeting of lis terraplanisitas, and they rejected me as a ticket salesman because I was not a terraplanist (flat earther). I'm sorry I will not be able to attend the event."

Update December 1, 2018
The team now claims to have the camera payload in hand.

Excerpt:
"Status of the main load:
All the telemetry information is intact. That is to say, there is information about the places where the balloon was, the height and the temperatures reached. For example it is known that the maximum height of the balloon was almost 20,700 meters (almost 21 kilometers) and that it has been exposed to very extreme temperatures, the maximum was forty-two degrees centigrade (42ºC) and the minimum recorded was fifty degrees below zero (-50ºC). The tracker, or tracking device through the global positioning system (GPS), with Iridium technology has not been found.
The most important load contained four cameras. One of the cameras with rectilinial lens is the one that was lost while remaining the other three: 1) The camera with rectilinial lens without infrared filter (ie filming in a part of the infrared spectrum), 2) the rectilinear camera with infrared filter that took fixed images every 5 seconds, with which you can get a movie in sequence of images (time lapse) and 3) the common Go Pro camera, with fisheye distortion. Talking with Alejandro Tarsia, who told us this information, he does not rule out that the camera that is still missing can appear later if a more exhaustive search is done once the exact points where the main load was found are known, based on the information of the tracker that is owned just now.
All this information will be expanded and provided in detail by the technical team of ArFlat, along with the information obtained from the memories of the cameras recovered in a live transmission from the Nur Para Todos channel from the Youtube platform, presented by the Argentine researcher Iru Landucci."

Update November 25, 2018
Iru Landucci ArFlat balloon launch SAGA CONTINUES...
Flat Earth site (planoexistencial.com) reported that the camera payload was found, but that the finder wants a reward for its return.
The ArFlat-1 box would have appeared, by planoexistencial

Report text here:
Title = The Arflat-1 box would have appeared
"We are pleased to report that we are just a few steps away from recovering the payload of ArFlat-1 Balloon, the scientific project that consisted of launching a balloon into the stratosphere to take data at height and make visual comparisons from filming with different video cameras .
At the time, the payload could not be recovered despite the fact that several days and additional resources were allocated for its search. Fortunately they have contacted Existential Plane, from the fanpage, commenting that they had found a box with video cameras assuming that they were property of Existential Plane.
To verify the information, and make sure it is not a rumor or deception, we have put in direct telephone contact with the person in question, and confirmed that he found in the field where he worked the yellow box with cameras, in a locality about 110 kilometers from the city of Santa Rosa, in the Pampas province of Argentina. In a telephone conversation with the man, whom we will call BR, he wants a reward, so we have quickly contacted the organizers of the project, so that the box with the information does not fall into the wrong hands.
Although we have not yet received a response from Alejandro Tarsia, technical director of the ArFlat-1 project, nor with Iru Landucci, who was actively involved in the promotion of the project, we look forward to giving you the details of the location to remove the box that does so much is looking for.
We consider that this information is very valuable for the terraplanist community. And surely there will be no inconvenience in the organizers see how to raise a sum for the reward of the good man who got in touch with Existential Plane."
The reporting entity, Existential plan, is a full service flat Earth promotional site.
It also turns out that people from (planoexistencial) also attended the Flat Earth International Conference (USA) 2018, held just days before in Denver.
Excerpt:
"A few days ago was held in the city of Denver, Colorado (USA) the second INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE US TIERRA PLANA, called FEIC2018, which was attended by several guests of the terraplanista movement to discuss issues and exchange information. Where they also conducted question and answer sessions for people who are just internalizing the issue and discussions were held. Obviously, the guests from different countries and ideologies exposed from their respective perspectives, most of them from Science and some from religion"

OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE ARFLAT v1.0 10/28/2018
ESTIMATED VERY GOOD DAYS / AFTERNOONS / NIGHTS DEPENDING ON THE PLACE WHERE THEY ARE!
We inform you all by this means. collaborate again our TOTAL thanks and endurance as always!
From the internal collaboration developed between the members of the ArFLAT group and some external collaborators, the sum of money was put together a couple of days ago to face the search for the cargo in the probable zone due to the prediction of a fall.
Unfortunately from this Friday in the area is raining and the weather forecast for the area of Castex (the Pampa and surrounding areas) provided by meteorology and by local people there that informs us, is not good until next Thursday / Friday (1/2 of November).
That is why, we understand that the days pass, so, as soon as we have the days in our favor, we will move forward in the logistics for the search.
Nobody else interested in finding the burden that we, more know how to understand that this was developed to lung with the times that we can contribute to the cause and we are within the group.
Thank you very much and we are in contact!

ARFLAT OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUÉ v1.0
ESTIMATED VERY GOOD DAYS / AFTERNOONS / NIGHTS DEPENDING ON THE PLACE WHERE THEY ARE!
As is public knowledge we have launched the ArFLAT v1.0 with a total success, a spectacular day from La Pampa, Argentina, and with all the weather in our favor.
We inform you all by this means. again, our TOTAL thanks, given that without their collaboration, this mission could not have been carried out.
In the coming days we will be reporting the exact date we will give in a live YouTube through the channel "Nur for All", the information of what happened, and will be available first for you all the images and videos of the project, launch and Recovery.
Minutes of what happened in launch and recovery: On Saturday at 10.30 hs (local Argentina) we launched, with all the previous preparation, from La Pampa, the balloon with different loads (our main load, another load with live camera, the tracker and a load of safety detachment emergency) which was sent to the air with total success and monitored with live video up to 3 thousand meters of altitude and 70 km of radius approx.) and tracked continuously up to 20 thousand meters of altitude AGL, where suddenly at 11: 23 hs (local time Argentina) we have lost total communication with it.
At the same time our logistics team was at the time of the launch 150 km away near the area of probable fall according to the predictions of the wind for that day.
Given the unexpected event of total loss of communication, and not being able to locate it, the search and rescue procedure was started, taking us all the rest of Saturday from noon (approximate time of fall and touch the ground (13.10-13.30 hs) until it got dark.
When not being able to locate it physically with all the rescue logistics and not having information of the tracker, we only locate by the predictions of probable zone of fall, that is extensive and of very difficult access as you will see in the videos and images that we are going to supply them .
On Saturday, part of the logistics team and collaborators undertook the return home to Buenos Aires, and a small group stayed overnight and returning on Sunday to continue the search. On Sunday several fields were surveyed, entering them asking for authorization from their owners, traveling with drone from the view from the air on the vast mountains.
We reached the night on Sunday, and return to our homes unable to even recover the load.
It is understood that the help and logistics in the place was arduous, and each of the collaborators had their obligations to return to Buenos Aires.
Given this, a search and rescue committee was set up to return to the area, and continue with the survey until finding the fallen load or what is found of it. That is why internally a collaboration of money has been started in order to face the logistics expenses.
It is not enough to tell you that we will send you the details of all the expenses for the project, where it is explicit that the money contributed by you is spent.
From our analysis, the biggest cost was facing the logistics move in terms of the fuel to move and the helium that consumed the balloon, using almost 8m3 of it (at usd 65 x m3), and we must continue contributing on our behalf to be able to conclude the move, since the proceeds did not cover everything.
Again we communicate our total gratitude, the working group is currently collecting all the photos and documentation of the project to be able to supply them. Keeping in touch to communicate the day and time of the live broadcast on the channel Nur for All, we greet you affectionately !!! and we go for more!!! GRUPO ARFLAT

Notice that for the camera lens shown below, the "field of view" is at best 90-degress. It is severaly limited by the packaging material.
To photograph small values of Earth curvature, a 180-degree panoramic view is necessary. Anything less than that will be disqualified by our staff - since it it not wide enough to capture whatever curvature is present at the location.
[No fisheye; need a 24-35 mm focal length, genuine wide angle lens]
Therefore the experiment was rigged (knowingly or unknowing due to ignorance) to show only a flat horizon, and not what truly could be seen.
Things you should know:
In photography, a rectilinear lens is a photographic lens that yields images where straight features, such as the walls of buildings, appear with straight lines, as opposed to being curved. In other words, it is a lens with little or no barrel or pincushion distortion. At particularly wide angles, however, the rectilinear perspective will cause objects to appear increasingly stretched and enlarged as they near the edge of the frame. These types of lenses are often used to create forced perspective effects.
A rectilinear lens has much less lateral visual amplitude. Considering their small 90-degree field of vision thru the box, that all but guarantees that ONLY A FLAT HORIZON will be on the photographs.
Instead, they should have used a high quality wide-angle lens with built in rectilinear correction.
Their payload does not have one.
We recommend that you watch the following videos by channel DKGCustom. They accurately explain the ins-and-outs of 360 cameras and how to use them to successfully capture Earth curvature...

Going to the stratosphere...
Earth curvature from the stratosphere:
at 10-km height above the Earth’s surface = 3.2-degrees
at 20-km height above the Earth’s surface = 4.5-degrees
at 30-km height above the Earth’s surface = 5.6-degrees
at 40-km height above the Earth’s surface = 6.4-degrees
at 50-km height above the Earth’s surface = 7.2-degrees
