NASA\u2019s Wallops Flight Facility C-130 aircraft, shown in this image from Oct. 28, 2023, delivered the agency\u2019s Galactic\/Extragalactic ULDB Spectroscopic Terahertz Observatory (GUSTO)<\/a> payload to McMurdo Station, Antarctica.

The GUSTO mission, launching aboard a football-stadium-sized, zero-pressure scientific balloon\u00a0in December 2023, will fly an Ultralong-Duration Balloon (ULDB) carrying a telescope with carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen emission line detectors. This unique combination of data will supply the spectral and spatial resolution information needed for the mission team to untangle the complexities of the cosmic material found between stars, and map out large sections of the plane of our Milky Way galaxy and the nearby galaxy known as the Large Magellanic Cloud.<\/p>\n
