After making initial observations last year, the Field Research Team returned to the Tundra with more balloons and equipment for additional study of the atmospheric radiation from the outer belt

high-altitude KerBalloon contract fell through, but that's good news to Lead Scientist Cheranne who wants to use the rest of our existing inventory to make another trip to the polar regions for more radiation data twitter.com/KSA_MissionCtr…

after the latest high-alt KB contract was dropped, Lead Scientist Cheranne was able to get funding approved to take the remaining 4 units and gather more radiation data in the upper polar atmosphere. Not as good as 4 individual missions but sometimes science over income is worthy

Kerbin I has come home! There was a lot more of the probe that survived re-entry than expected, which will make for interesting post-flight analysis. Lead Scientist Cheranne & her team with the high-alt KB crew are set to depart aboard this Dhumla when it heads back to the Kongo

the high-altitude KerBalloon team have departed for the Kongo with Lead Scientist Cheranne & her field research team. They will be releasing 4 balloons over the next 2wks across the northern tundra region where the outer radiation belt reaches down into the atmosphere

Lead Scientist Cheranne & her field research team have returned from gathering atmospheric radiation data in Kerbin's upper polar atmosphere. She looks forward to applying their findings to future surface missions in the area that could test radiation-hardened habitats
