After a series of weather-related delays, NASA launched
the test flight of its revolutionary 'flying saucer'
technology Monday, which scientists hope will lay the
foundations for future Mars missions.

The high altitude test at the U.S. Navy Pacific Missile
Range Facility in Kauai, Hawaii, began at 1:45 p.m. ET
with a huge balloon carrying the 15-foot wide, 7,000-
pound test flying saucer to high altitude. The balloon,
roughly the size of three football fields, will lift the
flying saucer to 120,000 feet, a journey which is
expected to take 3 hours. About 45 minutes after reaching
120,000 feet the vehicle will be released and a booster
rocket will then transport the saucer at Mach 4, four
times the speed of sound, to a height of 180,000 feet.
