CREAM (Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass) is an experiment being constructed to study high-energy cosmic rays from 1012 eV to over 5×1014 eV using the new ultra long duration balloon (ULDB) capability under development by NASA. ULDB flights are designed to last from 60 to 100 days each. CREAM includes a sampling tungsten/scintillator calorimeter, a transition radiation detector (TRD), and a timing-based charge detector (TCD). This report summarizes the configuration expected to start flying in December 2003, and provides the status of its construction and testing, including preliminary sub-system environmental tests.
