Geostationary balloon satellites (GBS) are proposed high-altitude balloons that would float in the mid-stratosphere (60,000 to 70,000 feet (18 to 21 km) above sea level) at a fixed point over the Earth's surface and thereby act as an atmospheric satellite. At those altitudes, air density is around 1/15 to 1/20 [37] of what it is at sea level ...
A high-altitude balloon floats over Billings, Mont., on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023. The U.S. is tracking a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that has been spotted over U.S. airspace for a couple ...
A Loon balloon at the Christchurch launch event in June 2013. Loon LLC was an Alphabet Inc. subsidiary working on providing Internet access to rural and remote areas. The company used high-altitude balloons in the stratosphere at an altitude of 18 km (11 mi) to 25 km (16 mi) to create an aerial wireless network with up to 1 Mbit/s speeds.
The balloon quickly deflates and falls to the ground, to be retrieved and disposed of (balloons are single use). The payload descends, suspended by the parachute, and is recovered by the ground crew. Conventional payloads typically have a float duration at altitude of 72+ hours. Long Duration Ballooning payloads float at durations of 42+ days.
2. Giant Balloons Rack Up Costs of $510,000. Inflating balloons that can stretch up to five or six stories high is seriously expensive. Each balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving parade uses 300,000 ...
A balloon can only have buoyancy if there is a medium that has a higher average density than the balloon itself. Balloons cannot work on the Moon because it has almost no atmosphere. [15] Mars has a very thin atmosphere – the pressure is only 1 ⁄ 160 of earth atmospheric pressure – so a huge balloon would be needed even for a tiny lifting ...
