This project will include the launch of a germanium gamma ray                   detector on a balloon to study the spectrum of emissions from the               supernova 1987a.  The expected radiation comes from the                         radioactive decay of cobalt-56.  This isotope is believed by                    theorists to constitute as much as one tenth of a solar mass, and               is one of the many products of the nucleosynthesis that is                      believed to occur in supernova.                                                                                                                                 The flight of this instrument from Antarctica may make possible                 measurements of much longer duration than can be achieved from                  other locations.                                                                                                                                                The project will also provide technical information on the                      resistance of the detector to the high cosmic radiation                         background.                                                                                                                                                     The title has been changed, with the permission of the proposer,                to reflect a balloon launch from McMurdo rather than South Pole.
