Project Mogul was the forerunner of the Skyhook balloon program, which started in the late 1940s, as well as two other espionage programs involving balloon overflights and photographic surveillance of the Soviet Union during the 1950s, Project Moby Dick and Project Genetrix. The spy balloon overflights raised storms of protest from the Soviets. [2]
Jacques Alexandre César Charles (12 November 1746 – 7 April 1823) was a French inventor, scientist, mathematician, and balloonist.Charles wrote almost nothing about mathematics, and most of what has been credited to him was due to mistaking him with another Jacques Charles (sometimes called Charles the Geometer [1]), also a member of the Paris Academy of Sciences, entering on 12 May 1785.
MAGIC did not observe cosmic rays resulting from dark matter decays in the dwarf galaxy Draco. [6] This strengthens the known constraints on dark matter models. A much more controversial observation is an energy dependence in the speed of light of cosmic rays coming from a short burst of the blazar Markarian 501 on July 9, 2005.
The two-balloon experiment is an experiment involving interconnected balloons. It is used in physics classes as a demonstration of elasticity . Two identical balloons are inflated to different diameters and connected by means of a tube.

Cosmic Ray Energetics and Mass (CREAM) is an experiment to determine the composition of cosmic rays up to the 10 15 eV (also known as the "knee prospect") in the cosmic ray spectrum. It has been hypothesized that the knee prospect of the cosmic ray spectrum can be explained by the theoretical maximum energy that a supernova can accelerate ...
The Millimeter Anisotropy eXperiment IMaging Array (MAXIMA) [1] experiment was a balloon-borne experiment funded by the United States NSF, NASA, and Department of Energy, and operated by an international collaboration headed by the University of California, to measure the fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background.
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) was an experiment that measured the cosmic microwave background radiation of a part of the sky during two sub-orbital (high-altitude) balloon flights and took large, high-fidelity images of the CMB polarization anisotropies using a telescope which flew at over 42,000 metres (138,000 ft) high.
