NASA successfully launched the GUSTO balloon over Antarctica, roughly 23 miles above Earth. The mission will help scientists create a 3D map of a large part of the Milky Way and determine the abundance of elements critical to life, including carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. We’re honored to have contributed by fabricating its mirror mount.
Amid the cacophony of penguins and seals, scientists from Johns Hopkins APL and the University of Arizona celebrated the new year with the launch of NASA’s newest balloon mission GUSTO. The airborne telescope will study molecular clouds of gas and dust between the stars.
