BLAST TNG

Maybe 45 minutes from fully inflated? #gogogo#blasttng https://ift.tt/303S0CZ

WE ARE INFLATING THE BALLOON THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!! https://ift.tt/2ZUT9MX

Still hanging out on the launch pad! #wishinandhopin #nasa #blasttng #theboss https://ift.tt/37zHi9u

We are on the launchpad. Low level winds are still too strong to start inflation but we can try to prepare everything #blasttng #nasa #antarctica #csbf #blast2020 https://ift.tt/2Fp2PG4

Heading out to the launch pad! Low level winds still a bit higher than ideal but the surface winds are good. #Progress #windwindgoaway #highhopes #blasttng #antarctica https://ift.tt/37xZQXM

Watching and waiting... on the low-level winds to settle. The #NASA team launches a pilot balloon (piball) to track the winds. #blasttng #antarctica https://ift.tt/2Fzbmq9
