Scientists Unveil Cheap, Balloon-Lofted Telescope That Could Outperform Hubble


A new kind of astronomical telescope is on the horizon.
Called SuperBIT, the new telescope is designed to fly above 99.5% of the Earth s atmosphere, lofted via a football stadium-sized helium balloon, according to a virtual Tuesday presentation at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting (NAM 2021), which was shared with IE under embargo.
Crucially, once it s launched in April 2021, this balloon-lofted telescope could outperform the Hubble Space Telescope.
The balloon telescope can capture images with the sharpness of Hubble
The new telescope comes as a joint project between NASA, the Canadian Space Agency, and Toronto, Princeton, and Durham Universities, according to the embargoed release. It will make its operational debut in April 2022, and, once it s deployed, will return high-resolution images comparable to those of the recently-imperiled Hubble Space Telescope.  ....

Durham, Toronto and Princeton Universities have teamed up with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency to build a new kind of astronomical telescope. SuperBIT flies above 99.5% of the Earth s atmosphere, carried by a helium balloon the size of a football stadium. The telescope will make its operational debut next April and when deployed should obtain high-resolution images rivalling those of the Hubble Space Telescope. Mohamed Shaaban, a PhD student at the University of Toronto, will describe SuperBIT in his talk today (Wednesday 21 July) at the online RAS National Astronomy Meeting (NAM 2021). ....
