Jan. 08, 2009 NEW NASA BALLOON SUCCESSFULLY FLIGHT-TESTED OVER ANTARCTICA WASHINGTON -- NASA and the National Science Foundation have successfully launched and demonstrated a newly designed super pressure balloon prototype that may enable a new era of high-altitude scientific research. The super-pressure balloon ultimately will carry large scientific experiments to the brink of space for 100 days or more. This seven-million-cubic-foot super-pressure balloon is the largest single-cell, super-pressure, fully-sealed balloon ever flown. When development ends, NASA will have a 22 million-cubic-foot balloon that can carry a one-ton instrument to an altitude of more than 110,000 feet, which is three to four times higher than passenger planes fly.

Summary
LARGE SCALE MEASUREMENTS EASIER FROM A BALLOON BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE FROM THE GROUND RESOLUTION LIMIT FROM A BALLOON..PAYLOADS CAN ONLY BE SO BIG FREQUENCY RANGE LIMITED FROM THE GROUND SATELLITE B-MODE PROJECT UNTHINKABLE WITHOUT BALLOON TESTBED BALLOONING HIGH RISK...HIGHER REWARD?
