Super-TIGER going for a record!!!
Super-TIGER the WUSTL-led cosmic ray experiment, has just been given the
green light for a third circuit around Antarctica. If the balloon stays up for a complete circuit it will probably break the heavy-lift scientific ballooning record of 42 days — and bring in a rich haul of data about cosmic rays, charged particles that continually bombard the Earth from space. The team has gone positively piratical over the prospect of more booty.
