Our clients do cool things. But when Olympus decided to test a new product’s durability and portability by launching it into space, we have to say that was a first.
Olympus attached the EPOCH 6LT to a high-altitude weather balloon and sent it into the stratosphere. In a little under two hours, the instrument reached its maximum altitude of 121,340 feet. Floating peacefully at the edge of the void, everything was going smoothly. Finally, the weather balloon popped, and the EPOCH 6LT flaw detector began its descent.
How did the instrument fare in the experiment? Watch the video to find out!
