BRRISON GROUND CALIBRATION - BIRC RAW DATA V1.0
Listed in NASA Data Portal
This is a saved data archive of the Balloon Rapid Response for Comet ISON(BRRISON) mission.
Description
This mission was performed by The Johns Hopkins UniversityApplied Physics Laboratory (APL) to develop and fly a balloon-borne gondolawith a scientific payload for the observation of Comet ISON and otherplanetary objects, during a one-day flight demonstration in September 2013.The mission was flown on the evening of September 28, 2013, just 11 daysafter the originally targeted launch date of September 17.
Ascent to floataltitude lasted about 2 hours. During the very early phase of commissioning,an anomaly occurred that caused the telescope to rapidly retract to thestowed orientation and become stuck in that orientation. Efforts were madeto free the telescope to no avail.

The anomaly and its cause will not bediscussed in this archive. Instead, a full description of the anomaly, itscause, and recommended corrective actions is provided in the 'BRRISONAnomaly Investigation Team Final Report.'
