BALLOON LEAK GIVES NASA SINKING FEELING
Nasa has suffered a setback after a
massive balloon designed to measure
cosmic radiation developed a leak.
The Ultra Long Duration Balloon was
supposed to inflate to the size of a
football field as it rose towards the
edge of the Earth's atmosphere.
It was meant to stay up for two weeks
but fell to the ground just hours afteu
its launch in the Australian outback.
Nasa hopes balloons will eventually
replace satellites for many experiments
