Payloads Used in First Three Data-Gathering BAMM Flights,

Abstract

Payloads were configured for, and used in, three successful data-gathering balloon flights for the Balloon Altitude Mosaic Measurements (BAMM) program. All were significantly different, and each worked as planned. A radiometer and a TV camera were carried on Flight 1, and an interferometer was added for Flights 2 and 3. Recovery was by ground impact for the first two flights, but the third was snatched from the air by helicopter. (Author)
