NASA launches stadium-sized ballon from Antarctica for scientific research

NASA is employing long-duration balloons to carry out scientific experiments at around 117,000 feet above the ground. Some of these balloons are as large as sports stadiums, making them bigger than the Statue of Liberty. The question is, what exactly is being studied up there in the stratosphere? The Antarctic Long Duration Balloon Campaign began this month, and the first balloon was launched on Monday. Andrew Hamilton, the acting director of NASA's balloon program, is joining FOX Weather to discuss further.
