*SCoPEx Proposed Platform Launch Announcement*
The SCoPEx Research team has announced the timing and location for a
proposed platform test in Sweden in June 2021. This balloon flight would
be managed by Swedish Space Corporation

flying out of Esrange Space Center in Kiruna, Sweden. This test would
not be the experiment itself but rather a test of the SCoPEx platform
without the release of any particles.Specifically, the Research Team
would like to test the gondola’s horizontal and vertical control using
the winch system and propellers as well as the power, data, navigation,
and communication systems. They would not release any aerosols, nor fly
an aerosol injection/release system. Still, they will not proceed with
this flight without a formal recommendation authorizing the flight from
the Advisory Committee to Harvard management. You can learn more about
the Research Team's proposed platform launch here

The Committee intends to complete financial, legal, and technical
soundness reviews by the 15th of February 2021 at which point a decision
will be made to either recommend or advise against the flight. To learn
