It was propelled from South Island Wanaka Airport, New Zealand in the fifth endeavor. Prior four endeavors to get the gigantic inflatable airborne were impeded by terrible climate.

Key actualities : The inflatable is 532,000 cubic meters and plans to stay airborne for over 100 days.

It is relied upon to circumnavigate the globe in the mid-scopes of southern side of the equator once every one to three weeks, contingent upon wind speeds in the stratosphere.

Inflatable’s operational buoy height is 33.5 kms and it will be noticeable from the beginning, at dawn and dusk in the southern half of the globe’s mid-scopes.

Its flight operations all through the mission will be controlled by NASA’s inflatable specialists at Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility and NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia.
