CHAOS successfully launched as part of the stratospheric balloon mission BX35 on the 2nd October 2024. At the moment, we are in the middle of the data evaluation and the first results look very promising. In January, we have to submit our final results which will mark the end of CHAOS as part of BEXUS.
But Kiel University is not done yet. Currently, a new team of students is forming to apply to the next BEXUS cycle with the instrument SETH. So, CHAOS is passing on the torch. And fittingly, SETH is the Egyptian god of CHAOS…
You can find some photos from CHAOS’s launch campaign in Kiruna, Sweden below.
