NASA's massive super-pressure balloon has completed a 16-day trip around the Southern Hemisphere — a milestone in high-altitude flight and atmospheric research.

In August, NASA plans to deploy a high-altitude balloon that'll hunt for gamma-rays, or high-energy wavelengths produced by some of the most powerful explosions in our universe.

A super-pressure balloon from NASA, the size of a football stadium, completed its first round-the-world trip in just 16 days, after taking off from New Zealand on April 17th.

NASA’s GUSTO balloon-borne telescope will study high-frequency radio waves transmitted through the interstellar medium to help map the Milky Way.
