Super Pressure Balloon successfully launched: NASA

Washington April 26: A balloon named International Extreme Universe Space Observatory on a Super Pressure Balloon (EUSO-SPB) was launched by world famous space research Institute NASA.

The balloon is in the shape of a football stadium and it was launched from Wanaka airport in
New Zealand yesterday. The details are as follows

This balloon was successfully launched on eight-time after 7 attempts of Failure. The balloon was developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to detect ultra-high energy cosmic particles from beyond the galaxy as they penetrate the Earth's atmosphere.



In order to solve The Mystery of Cosmic Particles, NASA has launched this balloon said by its chief Investigator Mr.Angela Olinto. The main objective of this balloon is to detect ultra-high energy cosmic rays from beyond our galaxy as they penetrate the Earth's atmosphere.
When these high-energy particles enter the atmosphere, they combine with nitrogen molecules in the air and create a UV fluorescence light.
The balloon launched on Tuesday in Newzealand will collect data from 34 kilometers above the Earth for next 100 Days. The balloon was designed after initial experiments were performed in 2015 and 2016 in Newzealand.

Whether will NASA find the answer to the question: From where do the Cosmic Rays come do they come from massive black holes at the center of galaxies? or Tiny, fast- spinning pulsars?. depends on the Performance of the EUSO-SPB.
