  16. Wanaka Airport announced the realization of the next NASA super-pressure balloon campaign from New Zealand in 2025.

    One of the flights will carry #HIWINDS an experiment aimed to measure the daytime thermospheric winds by monitoring the neutral wind induced Doppler shift in the airglow emission.

    The other flight will be a test for the super-pressure balloon itself (still under qualification) probably with a payload of opportunity.

  21. The BALMAN mission was successfully performed today. At 4:00 UTC, the balloon was launched from the observation point "Colibri" near the Ariane 6 launch pad of the Centre Spatial Guyanaise in Kourou.

    After reaching an altitude of 17.8 km the mission was terminated and the balloon impacted in the Atlantic Ocean, 42 km NE of Kourou.

    The total flight time was 3 hours.
