Employees from NMSU’s Physical Science Laboratory helped launch this NASA scientific balloon in December, which set a record for duration and distance. The balloon was launched from the National Science Foundation’s McMurdo Station in Antarctica and soared for nearly 42 days, making three orbits around the South Pole.
The balloon, which was almost as large as one and one-half football fields, carried an experiment designed to study cosmic rays arriving at Earth from outside the solar system.
PSL manages the National Scientific Balloon Facility in Palestine, Texas, which supports approximately 25 NASA balloon flights from sites worldwide. |
