NASA has released new footage of its super-pressure weather balloon, which launched from New Zealand’s Wanaka airport on Tuesday, May 17.
The 2,366-kg balloon, a COSI balloon (Compton Spectrometer and Imager), was inflated with as much as 3,600 kg of helium and has been set on a course to orbit the Earth for as long as possible, with a target of 100 days.
The video points out that the current NASA record for a balloon orbit is 54 days.
