Mission OverviewShall demonstrate the feasibility of high-altitude balloon based observatories
Shall analyze and understand solar phenomena by observing the Sun in Hydrogen-Alpha and Calcium(II) Potassium wavelengths
Observations of the Sun currently rely on ground and orbiting solar observatories, hindered by cost, accessibility, and atmospheric interference James Webb Space Telescope ~
$1.6 billion Kepler Telescope ~ $600 million Average Shuttle Launch ~ $450
million Mission offers analysis of:
Lower Chromosphere (Ca II – K) Mid Chromosphere (H-A) Solar Magnetic Field (both) MicroFlares (both) Arch Filaments (both)
Hydrogen-Alpha Exploration with Light Intensity Observation of the
Sun

Conclusion Ultimate objective: to
gather quality data and images at high altitude by which we can prove the feasibility of high-altitude balloon observatories
Space Grant is awesome
