Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report contains the papers presented at the Seventh AFCRL Scientific Balloon Symposium held in September 1972. The papers were presented in three sessions: Tethered and powered balloons, balloon-borne experiments, and instrumentation and balloon technology. In the area of tethered balloons, papers were presented on cables, drag and stability characteristics, hull design and analysis, and the results of scientific experiments using tethered balloons as sensor platforms. Papers were presented on a powered spherical balloon and a survey of possible power sources for use by this system. Presentations during the balloon-borne experiments and instrumentation session included manned balloon flights, precision pointing and control platforms and instrumentation, recovery parachute performance, gondola motion analyses, a balloon radar altimeter, and an overview of French scientific ballooning activities. During the balloon technology session a review was made of the flight results and performance of balloons with volumes in excess of 20 million cubic feet, shape and stress analysis of both nonreinforced and reinforced materials, and fabric tinting to increase solar absorptivity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The document covers a series of papers given at the fifth AFCRL scientific balloon symposium. The subjects were selected to cover the most recent developments in balloon technology and examples of the use of balloons for research purposes. The symposium is intended to provide an exchange of information for the developers of balloon systems and provides an excellent opportunity for scientists to discuss potential balloon capabilities and applications for the accomplishment of scientific programs. Balloon technology presentations included recent material investigations, tandem balloon stress analysis, balloon instrumentation, tethered balloons, cryoinflation feasibility studies and proposed launching techniques for large balloon systems.

Download or read book Polyethylene Free Balloon Design from the Perspectives of User and Designer written by James F. Dwyer and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who use large polyethylene balloons for experimental programs are presented with background information on the processes of selecting and designing balloons to meet their respective mission requirements. The effects of payload weight, altitude, duration, and vertical control on both the total payload weight and the balloon size are discussed with respect to these processes. The need to define missions success in terms of realistic requirements is emphasized and a mission planning procedure is proposed. Assumptions and problems in contemporary balloon design are discussed, and design and analysis procedures based on the loads and geometry at the time of launch are developed. Dynamic launch shock is proposed as a criterion for shell thickness, and a model of polyethylene film modulus is developed to account for strain rate and stress and strain relaxation at a launch temperature of 23 degrees C. Computer codes have been written for the processes of balloon selection and balloon design to meet mission requirements. They are intended to be a basis for more efficient, interactive mission planning. Finally, improvements to the balloon design process are proposed and discussed.
