Framed Print of Scientists Checking a Plastic Balloon
(Original Caption). Reaching for Knowledge. St. Paul, Minnesota: Two of the U.S. Air Forces space biology scientists, Major David Simons and Sgt. Charles Dahlberg (right) make final checks on the 244 foot long plastic balloon before launching it into space. Theoretical ceiling for the flight was set for 122, 000 feet above the earth. In the foreground is the sealed aluminum gondola containing the passengers, 40 live mice and three live guinea pigs. They were being sent into the stratosphere, along with some live tissue cultures, to test their reactions to bombardment by cosmic rays. Automatic timers will release the gondola and it will parachute to the ground. At that time the 25 story balloon will be destroyed in the air. Unleash your creativity with premium art prints that turn any room into a visual masterpiece.
