Balloon launch struggling to get off the ground

Nasa seventh launch attempt was postponed at 4.50am this morning due to forecast winds potentially causing the flight to go off course.

A Nasa spokesperson said "The projected flight trajectory had our balloon climbing out over the South Island and then onto the North Island on a path that was unacceptable for launch."

Nasa has yet to announce if will make another attempted launch tomorrow morning.
