Abstract

A new system of two photometers was built to observe the Sun at 3 and 7 THz from space, named SOLAR-T. It has been flown coupled to U.C. Berkeley GRIPS experiment on a NASA stratospheric balloon flight over Antarctica, 19-30 January 2016. The mission was successfully accomplished. We describe the system performance, solar brightness determination and the first THz impulsive burst detected. (AU)
