This is the #heliotrope, a solar powered hot air balloon that can deliver 2 kg to the tropopause, 800 g to the stratosphere. Fly all day, land at sunset. Got a payload? You build it, we'll fly it.
@NWSRaleigh about 0.25โ of wet sleet in south Chapel Hill s (near the intersection of 15-501 and Culbreth Rd) since precip started again. Currently sleet/snow mix.
Local wind fields and human activity have major impacts on infrasound microbarometer background noise. Congrats to the lead author A. Malach of @SandiaLabs on her first first-author paper!

Albuquerque residents, the glowing object in the sky is a NASA stratospheric balloon catching the sunlight. Itโs big and itโs way up there. No cause for alarm, the aliens arenโt this obvious

@NWSAlbuquerque there appears to be a landspout over west Rio Rancho right now. There is a long lived whirlwind under a cumulus cloud and itโs visible from across the valley.
I donโt post much here anymore but just wanted to give @northspore props for my first shiitake flush! It ainโt easy here in the high desert but looks like it can be done after all!
Live view of the AESOP-Lite balloon mission preparing for flight out of Antarctica. The ANIHALA infrasound piggyback is on board as well.

๐ฆShedding light on #Venus interior is key to understand its evolution. Seismic tomography is a good way to do it but it is too๐ฅat the surface! Can balloons๐detect these venusquakes from the atmosphere? Check out our poster on Monday at the #AGU23

โ All systems go! The #OSIRISREx mission team has voted to release the capsule containing an asteroid sample from the spacecraft. Hereโs what weโre expecting to happen today: https://t.co/8e2WlLwJ8S

Taylor Swaim's @ASA_POMA paper on the development and evaluation of infrasound windscreen designs for high altitude balloons, which is ultimately aimed for flights on Venus, also came out today:
