Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AFCRL Tethered Balloon Workshop was held in October 1967 for the purpose of exchanging information on the current tethered ballooning. This was the first such meeting held exclusively for reporting on this rapidly expanding technology. In addition to informal meetings, nineteen prepared talks were presented, all of which are contained herein. Subjects include: tethered balloon motion, balloon design, fiberglas tether cables, tethered balloon instrumentation, a tethered balloon winch, and several operational programs that used tethered balloon systems.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The annotated bibliography has evolved from an informal compilation prepared in response to many requests from military and civilian researchers who were planning balloon-borne experiments and searching for data or detailed information concerning some specific aspects of modern scientific ballooning operations. The bibliography consists of three parts: a subject index, an author index, and the bibliography with annotations.
