Elizabeth A. Silber, Daniel C. Bowman, Chris G. Carr +79
Sample Return Capsules (SRCs) entering Earth's atmosphere at hypervelocity from interplanetary space are a valuable resource for studying meteor phenomena. The 24 September 2023 ar…
Performance Characterization of Heliotrope Solar Hot-Air Balloons during Multihour Stratospheric Flights
Taylor D. Swaim, Emalee Hough, Zachary Yap +6
Heliotropes are passive solar hot air balloons that are capable of achieving nearly level flight within the lower stratosphere for several hours. These inexpensive flight platforms…
Proximal Exploration of Venus Volcanism with Teams of Autonomous Buoyancy-Controlled Balloons
Federico Rossi, Maira Saboia, Siddharth Krishnamoorthy +1
Altitude-controlled balloons hold great promise for performing high-priority scientific investigations of Venus's atmosphere and geological phenomena, including tectonic and volcan…
