AbstraktAbstract

Results of the first experiment using a MEDIPIX-type detector for cosmic ray imaging in stratospheric environment are presented. The detector was used in its tracking mode allowing it to operate as an "active nuclear emulsion". The actual flight time of BEXUS7 on 8th October 2008 was over 4 hours, with 2 hours at stable floating altitude of 26km.
