This is absolutely the coolest thing. What an interesting description. We’re the first few rolls developed usable, and what effect do the cosmic rays have, like do they increase noise?

The nasa photo chemistry person would develop one roll, check it for cosmic ray fogging/low contrast, change the chemistry, and do another. It took perhaps 8 rolls to get it down

That’s really cool. I bet the photo chem person enjoyed the challenge. When traveling with film I store it in a little shielded box. Usually TSA will check it by hand for me, but sometimes they’re really weird about it. Did you store your rolls in some sort of shielded box as well?
