He claims that it is merely a research helium balloon that was deployed for atmospheric research. The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and the indian Space Research Organization jointly handle the stratospheric balloon launch facility known as National balloon Facility (ISRO). hyderabad is where the balloon facility is situated. According to Raghunandan, a helium balloon can carry nearly 1,000 kg of scientific equipment that has been assembled by researchers for the study.
He cited the announcement that the TIFR balloon Facility made that month about launching a research balloon. These balloons assist in measuring the changes in pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed at various altitudes. This is used to create atmospheric sounding graphs, which aid in weather prediction. Meanwhile, in the late afternoon, a helium balloon collapsed at Marpalli in the Vikarabad district close to Hyderabad. The object was reportedly flying over hyderabad in the morning and is thought to be the same. When representatives from the National balloon Facility arrived, they took control of the balloon and the equipment inside.
