Long-duration ballooning at mid-latitudes and in Antarctica

Since the latter 1980s, there have been only two NASA balloon program failures out of over 100 flights involving astrophysical, space physics and upper atmosphere research activities. Since the successful flight of the Gamma Ray Advanced Detector, numerous requests have been received for flights in...

Since the successful flight of the Gamma Ray Advanced Detector, numerous requests have been received for flights in the Antarctic region. Such long-duration flights would employ the standard zero-pressure balloon of 28 MCF two-cap type, which carries a 3000-lb nominal suspended weight to 130,000 ft. For Antarctica, the nominal science weight would be from 1500 lbs to as much as 1900 lbs, with some sacrifice in altitude.
