The capsule was released from the balloon after which a parachute deployed for it’s descent. I’m not sure what the fate of the balloon is, I believe it opens on top releasing the helium.

The capsule chutes down on its own.

The balloon no doubt flies itself somewhere downwind, that would be a catch.
