High Altitude Tethered Balloon Instrumentation System Study.
Abstract
The results are presented of a study to investigate the problem involved with the design of an airborne instrumentation system and associated ground telemetry receiving station for the measurement of the aerodynamic performance of a high altitude tethered balloon system. The major portion of the report consists of an analysis of the problems and difficulties involved in making the various types of measurements and the results of laboratory tests on the electronic circuitry and transducers used for the measurement of temperature, pressure, cable tension, package orientation, and wind velocity. Consideration is also given to the mechanical and thermal problems of package construction, the electrical power supply, and to the supporting system for both the command capability and data transmission that will be required.
