BRRISON

BRRISON - or Balloon Rapid Response for ISON - was a stratospheric science balloon that planned to lift a gondola housing the refurbished Stratospheric Terahertz Observatory (STO) telescope and science instruments 37 km (23 miles) above the Earth's surface in order to capture images and data of comet ISON in September 2013. The payload had two instruments:

The BRRISON IR Camera (BIRC) will be used to observe water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the infrared by imaging from 2.5 to 5 microns.
The UVVis camera with a fast steering mirror and fine guidance system will be used to observe OH (308 nm) and CN (385 nm) emissions.

On 28 Sept 2013, the "payload suffered an anomaly following launch" from Fort Sumner, NM. Although no data of the comet was collected, the ground calibration data has been collected and safed.

NASA's Glenn Research Center managed BRRISON.

The SBN is the lead PDS node to archive the BRRISON mission data.
