THE IN-FLIGHT DEPLOYMENT OF HEAVY PAYLOAD TRAINS BENEATH ASCENDING HIGH-ALTITUDE BALLOONS.

Abstract

In 1957 and 1958, the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories (AFCRL) developed techniques for the in-flight deployment of several 50-lb instrumentation canisters along a 3500-ft balloon-borne train. This report describes an extension of these techniques to position much heavier instruments in a similar but more precise manner. (Author)
