At 60,000 ft. their instruments began to register intense blasts of radiation. Study of the instrument packages at the University of Minnesota showed that the radiation was made of speeding protons from the sun. The radiation was about 1,000 times as intense as the cosmic rays that normally come from space. Unlike the Van Allen radiation, which is made of solar protons that have been trapped by the earth...
