Results of the recent GAINS flight test
Abstract
A demonstration flight of the Global Atmosphere-ocean IN-situ System Prototype III balloon occurred on 21 and 22 June 2002. The 18-m diameter PIII superpressure balloon carried a 147-kg payload and floated above 15 km for 10 h. This paper discusses the performance of the balloon's systems over the 15.5-h flight.
