  Image Credit AI Generated NASA's  Annual Long Duration Balloon Campaign in Antarctica  has been announced, an event that not only highlights the human ingenuity but also our constant search for knowledge beyond the earth's borders. We already have all the information available, both at  www.nasa.gov/missions  and  www.nasa.gov/scientificballoons , a campaign that begins this coming December and is characterized by the launch of three scientific balloons from the vicinity of McMurdo Station. What makes these balloons special is their structure: they are  zero pressure balloons , gigantic, comparable in size to a stadium. Its mission is to support five different investigations, and there is particularly high expectation surrounding one of them, which could break the current record of  55 days, 1 hour and 34 minutes< a i=4> in flight.

The protagonist of this tour is  Frank Rubio , an astronaut who has broken records with his 371-day mission in space, the longest for an American. The ISS, that technological marvel that floats in space, has been inhabited continuously for more than 23 years. It is a laboratory in  microgravity  where experiments are carried out that we could not even dream of doing on Earth. From human health studies to plant research, the ISS is a melting pot of discovery. Now, thanks to Frank Rubio and NAS A, we can get a closer look at what it means to live and work in space. Frank has not only been a resident on this space station, but has actively participated in more than  3,300 experiments , becoming the hands and eyes of the researchers here on Ear...
