Hamilton said high-altitude balloons will not lose gas needed to keep them aloft because of the constant sunlight during the summer months in the polar regions. A second mission will use high-resolution imaging equipment to record X-rays from energetic electron microbursts in the polar atmosphere.A third mission is focused on the Sun and will use high-resolution images to observe spectro-polarimetry of its layers called the solar photosphere, cromosphere and other active regions of the Sun.
