随着能量的增大宇宙射线质量的测量越来越困难。“日美合作乳胶实验”（JACEE）的联合高空气球实验结果，提供了能量高达10¹⁵eV的有价值的重要资料。这项实验是在高空气球浮升到含量不到0.5%的大气顶层进行的。得到的结论是，虽然大气效应仍待改正，这里能不受影响地在大气中观测到宇宙射线。JACEE实验是由日本、美国和波兰研究人员协作进行的，一系列的长期气球飞行已经积累了大量数据。基本实验由探测宇宙射线、测定其电荷和能量等几项工作组成。由于能够进行研究的能量范围宽，所以这些测量特别重要。因为探测系统非常庞大，探测器能在多次飞行中反复利用，所以观测的时间也很长。实验采用大面积和长时间就意味着，宇宙射线粒子虽然稀少，却可以探测到相当数量的高能宇宙射线。
