NASA Balloon Makes Record-Breaking Flight

Visualizations by Lori Perkins Released on January 26, 2005

The Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass (CREAM) project used a Ultra Long Duration Balloon(ULDB) to observe special features and/or changes related to a supernova acceleration limit.

This animation shows the path of the CREAM balloon during its record-breaking flight. The first circumnavigation path is seen in red. The second is shown in green and the third in yellow.

This still shows the path of the CREAM balloon during its record-breaking flight. The first circumnavigation path is seen in red. The second is shown in green and the third is yellow.
