The Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) experiment is designed to investigate high-energy (10 12∼10 15 eV) cosmic rays over the elemental range from hydrogen to iron (1⩽ Z⩽26), through a series of long balloon flights. Originally planned to be flown on the first of the new Ultra Long Duration Bal...
