Sunrise telescope takes off (DI02018)
On June 8, 2009, the Sunrise telescope was successfully launched from Esrange Space Center in Kiruna, Sweden. After its launch the giant helium balloon drifted west over the Norwegian coast, recording high-resolution images of the Sun's outer surface with its powerful telescope. It landed 68 na...
