NASA is participating in a collaborative effort to use high-altitude balloons to improve real-time communications among firefighters battling wildland fires.
During the first test of the system last August, the balloon after spending several days in wildfire areas in Idaho and Canada, finally landed in ....Iceland!

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.

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.

Zephalto, the French company aimed to offer in the near future manned flights to the stratosphere performed a crewed test over Occitanie, France on October 11th.
The hydrogen-filled zero-pressure balloon carried a pressurized capsule named Lucy with two pilots onboard.
During the three-hour flight the balloon that departed from the Albi Airfield, reached an altitude of 6 kilometers before landing near Agde.

Aerostar established a new record with one of their Thunderhead balloons being aloft for 200 days and counting.
Mission HBAL676 launched on March 28 from the firm's winter Lodge in Santa Fe County, is still floating 60 kft above the Pacific Ocean.
The previous record was 156 days aloft.
