6月6日午前4時前、摂氏7度の曇り空の一部から朝焼けが漏れる中、大樹航空宇宙実験場にて直径30m超のB22-07号気球を放球しました。放球1時間20分後には太平洋上の高度27kmで水平浮遊。実験終了後、海上に緩降下し午前7時過ぎに回収されました。この実験は、気球実験への要求が高度化する中、より効率的なバラスト搭載方法の開発に資するものでした。

Before 4am on June 6, as sunrise was peaking through the 7°C cloudy sky, a B22-07 scientific balloon with a diameter over 30m was released from the Taiki Aerospace Research Field. 1 hour and 20 minutes after launch, the scientific balloon floated horizontally at an altitude of 27 km over the Pacific Ocean. Once the experiment was completed, the balloon slowly descended to the sea and was retrieved shortly after 7am. This experiment contributed to the development of a more efficient ballast mounting method, which has become increasingly important as demand for balloon experiments increased.
