Description
On October 1, 1977 the new large area Compton telescope of the MPI was flown for the first time on a balloon. It reached an altitude of 3.5 g/cm2 rest atmosphere and stayed there for 20.5 hours. The present status of data evaluation from this flight is described. First preliminary results are presented
