Students of the Warsaw University of Technology with unprecedented accuracy will examine the distribution of ultraviolet radiation in different layers of the atmosphere. They implement their idea as part of the German-Swedish student program REXUS / BEXUS organized by the European Space Agency.

The LUSTRO project consists in the creating a system of sensors and rotating mirrors. The completed system will be lifted using a stratospheric balloon to a height of approximately 25-33 km and will remain there for several hours. During this time, two periscopes will collect data on the intensity of UV radiation.
The flight of the balloon with the LUSTRO experiment is planned for the autumn of 2018.
