NASA's Scientific Balloon Program

[sheeny]

Here's an interesting article about Nasa's scientific balloon program. It's interesting what they have and hope to achieve as an alternative to satellites for some things. It's not as publicised as the rocket side of NASA... probably not so much excitment and glamour?
