ASTHROS Mission
- Astrophysics Stratospheric Telescope for High Spectral Resolution Observation as Sub millimetre wavelengths.
- Launched by NASA
- large balloons will be sent from Antarctica in December 2023 into stratosphere.
- It will observe air currents above the continent
- observe wavelengths of invisible light from the earth.
- The balloon has a telescope, sub systems, science instruments, electronic systems and cooling systems.
- Balloon is to be inflated with Helium
Applications
- It will study giant stars and their formation in the Milky Way Galaxy.
