LIVE! NASA NASA XL-Calibur Balloon Launch
#NASA #Balloon #XL-Calibur

XL-Calibur is a balloon borne X-ray telescope that measures the X-rays from black holes and neutron stars in our galaxy. Follow along as we prepare to launch from Kiruna, Sweden in 2022, and McMurdo, Antarctica, in 2023.

XL-Calibur is being built by a collaboration of ~50 scientists from the US, Japan, and Sweden. The principal investigator is Henric Krawczynski (Washington university in St. Louis), and Fabian Kislat (UNH), Takashi Okajima (Goddard Space Flight Center), Yoshitomo Maeda (ISAS, JAXA), Hiromitsu Takashi (Hiroshima University), Mark Pearce (KTH), and Lindsey Lisalda are on the executive committee.
