EUSO-SPB1 flew as a mission of opportunity suspended below a NASA super-pressure balloon that was launched as a test flight on April 24th 23:51 UTC 2017 from Wanaka, New Zeland. Unfortunately the 2017 balloon developed an anomaly that necessesitated an early termination of the mission. The entire flight train was "valved down" about 300 km southeast of Easter Island 12 days after the launch. It currently rests on the deep ocean floor. |
Despite the setbacks, the EUSO-SPB1 instrument operated successfully
while aloft and returned 60 GB of data.
