More space news and info at: http://www.coconutsciencelab.com - NASA successfully launched a super-pressure balloon (SPB) from Wanaka Airport, New Zealand, at 11:35 a.m. Tuesday, May 17, on a potentially record-breaking, around-the-world test flight.
The balloon flies at an altitude of about 110,000 feet, in a layer of Earth's atmosphere known as the stratosphere.
The purpose of the flight is to test and validate the SPB technology with the goal of long-duration flight (100+ days) at mid-latitudes. In addition, the gondola is carrying the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) gamma-ray telescope as a mission of opportunity.

More space news and info at: http://www.coconutsciencelab.com - when Star Trek originally aired in 1966, NASA’s space program was still in its infancy. But Star Trek allowed us to imagine what could be, if we dared to boldly go where no one had gone before.
NASA is on the Journey to Mars, and the International Space Station is a critical test bed for the technologies that will get us there.
The path to exploring the furthest stars starts at our planetary neighbors, and today we’re closer than ever to humans making those first footprints in alien soil.
