Two neighborhood residents, Richard Bose and Ryan Murphy, are part of an engineering team working on a balloonbased cosmic ray detector at Washington University called the “superTiger”.
They are planning to fly the balloon from Antartica in December.
As Bose stated, “The hang test is when we put Super-TIGER on Tiny Tim, a balloon launch vehicle, take it outside, and verify that communication via satellite, commanding, data return, and power systems work.” Friends and fans can follow their adventures on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/thesupertiger or twitter at http://www.twitter.com/ SuperTigerLDB.
