Balloon Science ExperimentsThe science done with HARBOR varies with each flight. The system is designed to be reconfigurable, and to carry whatever payload the HARBOR flight team and our partners want to send aloft. Several experiments are flown on a regular basis as part of standard payload configurations: | |
|
ARIES: The Airborne Remote Imaging Exploration System is a
modified digital camera which takes pictures at regularly spaced
time intervals during the flight. >> Main ARIES page |
 |
|
Temperature Sensors Temperature profiles, both inside and
outside the balloon capsules, can be monitored using
data loggers. HARBOR temperature records are recorded by PASCAL
using an XR440 Pocket
Logger from Pace

Guest Science ExperimentsThe following guest experiments have flown on HARBOR, or are in the development stages: | |
|
PASCAL PI: Samantha Balaich (Weber State) Description: PASCAL (Pressure Aloft Sensor to Characterize Atmospheric Layering) is a data logging system to produce atmospheric pressure and temperature profiles during the balloon flight. >> Main PASCAL page |
