United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA Sweden’s long-term science balloon is scheduled to begin operations in mid-May 2024. is to send 4 large scientific balloons to carry out scientific missions. The launch will take place from the Esrange space center of the Swedish Space Corporation, located north of the Arctic Circle. near Kiruna, Sweden
Selection of S-Range space center Because it is located in a large area. There are no crowds. It is a bright polar region throughout the summer. Scientists believe that the balloon will be able to move for a long time under constant sunlight in the polar regions. In addition, the location of the launch distance and winds from the stratosphere This will provide excellent flight conditions for collecting scientific data for several days. During the hot air balloon flight from Sweden to Northern Canada
The mission these balloons have to carry out is to measure high-energy light isotopes that will help determine the age of cosmic rays in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Create high-resolution X-ray images of the polar atmosphere. It will obtain high-resolution images of the sun’s surface, and a telescope mounted on a balloon will observe galactic black holes and the origin of neutron stars. To gain new understanding of how these objects accelerate electrons and emit X-rays, etc., this activity will continue until early July 2024.
