The NASA Flight Opportunities Program is offering hosted flights aboard high altitude balloon platforms to test new space technology in a relevant, space-like environment.  If you are developing an innovative Cubesat system that could benefit from a demonstration at 30 km (98,000 ft) altitude, this may be an opportunity to receive a NASA-hosted balloon-borne test flight.

The Announcement of Flight Opportunities solicitation is available here:

The proposal deadline is next week on December 16, 2011.
