Cosmic Dust Lost on 20,000-Mile Balloon Mission
The Canadian U S venture to collect cosmic dust fails as the balloon and 500 foot tow line drift in the southern hemisphere. Batteries in the dustbin likely failed after a 19 day journey and no contact has been made since August. A new balloon may be launched to retrieve the valuable microscopic dust used to study the sun, planets, comets, and asteroids.
