I have not tracked one in a while so last night I checked to see what was up.
They released a Raven Aerostar from Lexington Ky and it was 68,600 ( almost 13 miles ) up
over Galax Va heading east

then right click on the parachute image to open in a new tab it will say at the top that the link is a
"Black Brant Parachute Extended"
