![]() ![]() If you are unable to attend, you are encouraged to submit by e-mail all suggestions for potential technologies related to the above two systems. Check out the logistics page for the details. Representation of potential technologies, there are physical limits on attendance. Please take this opportunity to register by email. We are also interested in technologies to facilitate extended instrument operation, such as low cost cryogenic coolers. ![]() The second day of the workshop will focus on the Ballooncraft System which include technologies related to, but are not limited to power, telecommunications, data handling, structural, thermal, attitude control, and software. Balloon System technologies include, but are not limited to materials, fabrication, structure, performance and autonomous guided recovery systems. Focus of the first day of the workshop will be on those technologies associated with the Balloon System (which include the balloon vehicle and recovery system). The first day will include an overview of the Ultra Long Duration Balloon (ULDB) concept, science requirements, and identification of critical technologies required to develop the concept. We are planning a two day workshop at Goddard Space Flight Center on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 24 - 25, 1997. NASA is currently defining requirements and identifying technologies and technical resources that are requisite for the development of this new capability. This configuration could maintain stable altitude from day to night without ballast. The strawman vehicle would support a ~1 ton scientific payload on a 16-28 mcf (million cubic feet) superpressure balloon for 100 days (~5 circumnavigations of the globe). Recent advances in composite superpressure balloon materials have greatly enhanced the prospects for very long duration balloon flights on Earth as well as possible use for planetary exploration.
