NASA Glenn Research Center Balloon Mission Launch

The mission shown here was the Stratospheric Terahertz Observatory (STO), launched on January 15, 2012 from Antarctica. It studied large dense molecular clouds in the southern sky of the Milky Way. The BRRISON mission, explained here -

Well, at least we know why NASA is the biggest buyer of helium in the world!

[DannyC]

It's gonna be a rude awakening for a lot of people

Satellites on balloons. Holy shit. I might be a flat earther

[Phoenix_cataclysm_in_]

And that's how satellites are actually launched.

This is what satellites actually are. Try to find an actual picture of one in space...then try to figure out how 3D Earth view works from a camera 1000+ miles out.

[yacobshelelshaddai]

NASA - the biggest consumer of helium on the FACE of the earth. And now you know why. Because it’s FLAT!!

[wallaceanthony]

Lmao, with all NASA's money and engineering capabilities, they use a guy holding onto it with a rope

[mickyblueu]

no gold foil on that one, did nasa run out?

[AMGTT]

And people think satellite orbit earth there all ok balloons people sad that people believe we went to the moon

[Quarter]

Great video, though the description is lacking. What mission was this? Is there an associated website (mission specific) with more info? Launch date?

[missywilson]

JPLs STO-2 is a balloon born program to study the formation of stars. Why use balloons when there's all these satellites orbiting the globe?

[jonodonnell]

I just noticed the angle of the solar panels? Shouldn't they be pointing straight up if the Sun is so far away

[questfortruth]

LOL NASA showing proof of satellites 🤪🤪

[chuckbudan]

real satellite hahaha earth is flat!!!

[rajvirsingh]

How long do these balloons last up there? And are they equipped with parachutes?

[inerfyr]

Love this video, no such thing as satellites, in the sense of floating in outerspace. These bad boys are the real satellites, satellite balloons. Earth is flat and God is amazing, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[robertnewman]

The dreams and the illusions of children. 'Space' travel, buggies, lunar rovers, and 'men in space' with proud salutes and heroic postures.

[michaeljorgensen]

Now improve it so it can be maneuvered over China above an airbase and we can pretend it is just looking at weather.
We always seem to be playing catch up in the arms race with China.

[matrix-lol]

People are waking up and know satellites DONT exist in SPACE..

The military has stationary satellites that can detect the bore on the surface of a submarine 1000 feet deep in the ocean. Water doesn't compress and creates a signature in all spaces in all directions.
