Airways partners with NASA for balloon launch
NASA has today successfully launched a stadium-sized super pressure balloon from Wānaka Airport, with Airways New Zealand safely managing its ascent to the edge of space.
Airways, New Zealand's air navigation services provider, has worked with NASA to plan the airspace logistics for the launch of the scientific balloon, which fully inflates in flight to 532,000 cubic meters – about the size of Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium.
