Veena Meer and Chris Perez, both with Hanscom Air Force Base, tie off and seal the opening of a weather balloon, Feb. 27, 2018, after filling it with helium in preparation for their 2017 Air Force Research Laboratory Commander’s Challenge demonstration at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. Team Hanscom was stymied in their attempt in the challenge as twice a balloon popped before it could be launched. ( Air Force photo by Oriez)
