In Sweden started giant “air” telescope SUNRISE. Mass of instrument makes more than 6 tons. Mission SUNRISE it is the joint project of a few institutes in Germanium, USA and Spain. It is planned that a vehicle will move on a height about 37 kilometres during a few days. Taking into account direction of stratosphere winds at this time years, researchers suppose that SUNRISE will fly so far to Canada through 4-6 days. There a telescope will accomplish programed
beforehand landing.Scientists mark that presently in breadths, where a balloon, arctic day, will fly. As a result the height of flight of vehicle will not change from changing of day and night (these changing cause the change of gas temperature into a ball and his lifting
forces). vehicle there is a capture of data about sun activity. Scientists mark that on the similar height of condition for supervisions in a great deal similar with space. For achievement of high exactness of measurings the instruments of vehicle it is assumed to calibrate soon
after flight on the wireless station specially built in Norway. Communication of data about the location a telescope will conduct through sputniki.Study of space objects at a help "air" telescopes is in relation to by a cheap alternative
to the space vehicles, reports Lenta.ru. So, for example, to the telescope BLAST, which scientists started in Antarctic Continent, it was succeeded for a few flights to collect plenty of information about young galaxies. In particular, information, got a telescope, allowed to set,
that exactly these objects are accountable for a space base-line infrared (far-infrared background). Start of telescope. Photo from the site of project
