Canadian Academia, Industry Launch Seven Experiments On Stratospheric Balloons

Effort Supported By Canadian Space Agency Program Stratos

From August 19 to September 26, 2014, Canadian industry, universities and students from across the country will test their experiments in a near-space environment, thanks to the Canadian Space Agency's (CSA) stratospheric balloon program, Stratos.

Seven Canadian experiments will be flown on these balloons. These include a study of how high energy electrons are lost from the Earth's radiation belts into the upper atmosphere; taking measurements of aerosol, cloud, smoke and dust in the stratosphere; and determining the vertical distribution of water in the atmosphere, which is critical to understanding its impact on climate.

These balloon launches are part of a partnership between the CSA and the French space agency, the Centre national d'études spatiales (CNES). Following successful test flights in 2013, both teams are back in Timmins to prepare for their first official stratospheric balloon campaign, Strato Science 2014.
