How much does bromine affect stratospheric ozone? Answering this question is the primary objective of measurements by a multi-instrument gondola carried by a high-altitude balloon. The gondola accommodates a unique combination of remote sensing instruments coordinated by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the University of Heidelberg. The balloon flight was launched from Timmins (Ontario/Canada) on Sunday, September 07 as part of the international StratoScience2014 campaign that is operated by the Canadian and French space agencies.
