#EARTHWINDS balloon above lake Tahoe. Circa 1994. This double-balloon air-ballast system was based in the Sky Anchor concept originally developed at Texas A&M University in mid 70's for the NASA's long duration balloon program. All flight attempts failed. #BalloonImageOfTheDay

#BigData do not have to come from big satellites: also small ones like the soon to be launched #Aeolus can deliver tons of information about our 🌍! With 100 wind profiles per hour Aeolus is set to increase our knowledge of #Earthwinds. #DATAPALOOZA ℹ️ https://t.co/spEq6KzE6l
