As I mentioned, the #BIG60 #balloon launched yesterday from #McMurdo with AESOP-Lite onboard as the closing flight of the #NASA launch campaign in #Antarctica continues to lose altitude steadily.
Since it reached a float altitude of 156.000 ft the 60 million cubic feet balloon is now flying at 126.000 ft. This is a clear indication of a possible leak and is a situation well beyond any probable recovery, even dumping all ballast available.
At this peace of descent, the flight will end soon.
