In August the team launched a prototype of, the telescope 38 kilometers into the stratosphere onboard a helium- filled balloon. For, two hours, researchers followed below in a helicopter, shooting a pulsed UV laser and, LED into the telescope’s field of view. The test was a success: the prototype detected, the UV traces, which are similar to the fluorescence generated by extreme energy, cosmic-ray air showers ...
