Super-TIGER is up!!!
The Super-TIGER comic-ray experiment had a perfect launch Sunday 9:45 am New Zealand Daylight Time. The enormous balloon that will carry it to the limits of Earth’s atmosphere was stretched out on the ice and then partially
filled. As it
came up off the ice, the balloon rose over the downstream
instrument. When it was directly overhead the Boss released the two-ton cosmic-ray instrument and it was lofted effortlessly into the skies over Antarctica.
