On very short notice, I hopped on a plane from
Seattle to Albuquerque, rented a car, and drove 3
hours out to Fort Sumner, New Mexico for another
launch of our CHESS experiment. I fell asleep in
the car at 3 am, woke up to the sounds of
diesel engines as the NSBF crew began their
launch preparations.
I had a quick cup of bad coffee, and began
working like a demon to get our cosmic ray
experiment checked out packed up ready to go
on board the gondola.

Piggybacking on board for this flight were
another high school experiment (ping pong balls
in a white cardboard box), a Discovery Channel
high-definition video camera (in the 5-gallon
plastic bucket). The main experiment (read
paying) is wrapped in gold mylar. Its a
particle detector, not unlike our detector, just
a lot fancier and more refined. Its designed to
catch neutrons, to study the energies and
potential biological effects of solar neutrons on
astronauts as they work in space for extended
periods.
