Want to see the Sunrise III telescope take off from Kiruna in northern Sweden onboard a high altitude balloon?

The video here starts 30 seconds before launch:

And what a flight that was! 6 days 14 hours across the North Atlantic, Greenland, Canada. Here's a 5' video from launch to stratosphere to landing in a forest in the Northwest Territories:

Stunning images of the journey of the Sunrise III telescope taken by IRIS-2 a video and imaging instrument built by a Spanish team of enthusiastic amateur astronomers, engineers, and technicians.

The balloon-borne telescope traveled from Sweden to Canada more than 6,500 km at an altitude of about 40 km in six days.

First Solar Images from Sunrise III

The balloon-borne solar observatory Sunrise III captured images of the Sun with highest resolution in July of this year during its six-and-a-half-day stratospheric flight. The team has published the first, carefully processed images today. They show smallest structures on the Sun’s visible surface, only 50 kilometers in size. The Sunrise III data make it possible to follow processes on the solar surface and in its lower atmosphere at an unprecedented height resolution for several hours without interruption. The Sun has been particularly active during the entire year, and also during Sunrise III's research flight. Therefore, in addition to sunspots and dynamic magnetic fields, the observatory was able to witness two solar flares. The images from the on-board camera have now also been processed. They impressively document the unique research adventure at the boundary to space.

Looking good! After #sunrise3's stratospheric flight, parachute landing in Canada and return journey in an overseas container, team members at @mpsgoettingen take a first look at the #telescope’s main mirror – and are accompanied by a film team from the local TV station #ndr. #Sunrise_III
