NASA launched the first of three untended balloons that would search for cosmic rays, including those that could provide evidence of galaxies made of antimatter. The balloon flights were to be conducted throughout August from a launching site at Prince Albert Saskatchewan Airport, Canada, as part of the NASA Balloon Program. Each of the balloons would carry one of three cosmic ray experiments: an extragalactic matter experiment that would search for heavy antinuclei; a scintillating optic fiber experiment; and a high energy spectrometer telescope.
