XL-Calibur in the high bay @NASA_Wallops It's high enough for an 80° pitch. 🔭

Fun little science nugget story from @mara_hop @nhpr about @FKislat's gamma ray research that is super cool -- literally.

I've been using the same first guess every day, more than 500 times, and it finally happened:

@IBJIYONGI My worst autocorrect nightmare is that one day I miss the fact that it turns "Hi Sue" into German "Hi Süße" when I email a coworker named Sue. It does that every single time. And for the record, these are not words I have ever intentionally written (or said).

@IBJIYONGI Congratulations!

@UNH2D Congratulations!

Gamma ray bursts are among the largest, most intense & distant energy releases in our universe. Researchers from our Space Science Center & @UNH_CEPS have received a $750K @nasa grant for a mission concept study to learn more about them.

@NASA_Wallops More than 6 days!

[XL-Calibur @SuperTigerLDB]

The Royal Mounted XL-Calibur Rescue Rangers got eyes on XL-Calibur. Looks good. Not in a lake and just missed some tree!

@SuperTigerLDB @FKislat @WUSTL @WUSTLArtSci @WashUPhysics @KTHuniversity @NASA_Wallops @UNHEOS @HiroshimaUnivEn @osaka_univ_e @NASAGoddard After 6 days, 7 hours, and 45 minutes, XL-Calibur has returned to Earth. More-or-less upright too, it appears.

[XL-Calibur @SuperTigerLDB]

We're on the ground! >6 days! The Royal Mounted XL-Calibur Rescue Rangers are already arranging for recovery. Thanks to @NASA, @SSCspace for a great launch and flight ops. Thanks @RavenAerostar for a great balloon! And big thanks for the love and support from all our SuperFANS!

You can see our rate of decent decrease as the parachute catches more air.

XL-Calibur was seen from Arviat on the west side of Hudson Bay!

@SuperTigerLDB If you look closely, you can see our fall slowing as we get into denser air at lower altitude.
