NASA balloon launch update for Tues 17 March
NASA balloon launch update for Tues 17 March
Please be advised that will not be a balloon launch attempt tomorrow, Tuesday 17 March. At the moment the winds in the stratosphere are making the balloon trajectory unacceptable but the NASA team is continuing to monitor the weather patterns closely. Please find attached a graphic of the predicted trajectory for your reference.
The three key considerations for an optimal launch day are:
• The surface weather (ranging from ground level to 400m)
• The safety analysis of the balloon’s flight trajectory from Wanaka to the east coast of New Zealand
• What the balloon is predicted to do in the stratosphere.
An update regarding a possible launch on Wednesday will be issued by 2pm tomorrow.
