Abstract
SUNRISE III is the third flight of the international stratospheric balloon project Sunrise. The SUNRISE III carries a 1-meter aperture Gregorian telescope and provides a unique platform to perform seeing-free observations at UV-Visible-IR wavelengths. It is designed in the framework of NASA's long-duration balloon program to be launched at ESRANGE, Sweden, and to fly to Canada at float altitudes of 35 – 37 km. For the third flight, the post-focal instrumentation was extensively upgraded to enhance spectro-polarimetric capability; SUSI for 309 – 417 nm, TuMag for 525 nm and 517 nm, and SCIP for 765 – 855 nm. The gondola was also renewed to achieve stable pointing to a target on the solar surface. The team led by NAOJ provided SCIP through international collaboration with the Spanish and German teams. SUNRISE III was launched in July 2022 but was terminated because of a hardware problem. The telescope and instruments were successfully recovered and will be flown again in June 2024.
