The GRIPS mission has finally launched! The very marginal weather conditions held out just long enough for them to get off the ground. Congratulations to the GRIPS team! You can follow their progress here: http://www.csbf.nasa.gov/antarctica/payloads.htm
We are waiting to see what the weather holds for us tomorrow and in the coming days. This has been uncharacteristically bad weather here this season. This is the latest they have ever launched a balloon. We are running out of time before the wind circulation in the stratosphere starts to deteriorate, which means there is a chance we won't launch at all. Everyone is still holding out hope that we will make it off the ground this season though!
