Although the stratospheric winds would seem now to support a circumpolar flight (according to satellite wind observations and the trajectory of a pathfinder balloon), the surface winds are too high and will probably remain so through Jan 1. We will launch as soon as possible after that. The best prospect for a target region is the one now coming over the east limb at N10. Reports of activity in this region would be much appreciated.
