Congratulations to all! What a picture perfect launch! To me it was an emotional moment. The long development road of CREAM balloon flights in Antarctica, culminating in the ISS mission, has been a very special experience. Many thanks to all of you for your dedicated efforts and commitments in all aspects of this project. It is exciting to think about the next chapter of the CREAM project made possible by access to the ISS. I look forward to seeing many of you at SOC for successful operations of CREAM on the ISS.
Thank you,
Eun-Suk

Hello all,
Congratulations to Physics/IPST's Eun-Suk Seo and her lab group, whose groundbreaking cosmic ray detector, ISS Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass (ISS-CREAM), will travel to the International Space Station on Monday, August 14 aboard the SpaceX-12 Commercial Resupply Service mission. The detector, which is roughly the size of a refrigerator, will remain installed on the ISS' Japanese Experiment Module for at least three years. The massive amounts of data ISS-CREAM will collect could reveal new details about the origin and diversity of cosmic rays.
Our announcement of the instrument's launch, based on a previous feature about the Seo group's Antarctic Long Duration Balloon (LDB) missions, is posted on the CMNS website and featured on the CMNS home page: https://go.umd.edu/CREAM
Cheers,
-Matt
