Phase I of a Program to Design and Test a Balloon System for Shipboard Launch,

Abstract

The purpose of the program is to develop a balloon system which can be launched from the deck of a ship, by inexperienced personnel, and will support a 15.0 lb. payload at an altitude of 70,000 feet for a duration of 4-12 hours. The balloon system must be rugged enough to permit reliable deployment in wind velocities up to 45 knots.
