The study team includes personnel from NASA-GSFC, This program also expects to use technologiesД¬urrently available in the spacecraft missions and commercialДЄrenas to improve performance while containing costs. In other words, it is more than simply extending current experiments Return is significantly greater than current balloon missions. The ULDB program is significantly differentДЇrom the current balloon program in that the expected science This program will identify commercialДЄnd existing spacecraft technologies and practices to improve

Is to create a в±00 day balloon model which is technicallyДЇeasible and within program cost constraints while maintainingД®xisting balloon program. The goal of the ultra-long balloon program study Program will be the result of a successful demonstration program. Mission/Program: An Ultra-Long Duration Balloon.Will also show the technology available to successfully undertake ~100 day balloon flight demonstrating the capability of superpressureД«alloons and the type of science that can be accomplished. The Demonstration Program: This is the initial.Science feasibility study to evaluate whether science goals canД«e met and to identify technical challenges to satisfy science ULDB (в±00 day flight) Study: This is a.There are three distinct but related projects currently The ULDB Program study was initiated by NASA Headquarters Missions and potential opportunities for science. provide information to non-balloon scientistsДЄnd engineers regarding differences between balloon and space.provide input to the demonstration program at.identify technical challenges of the Ultra-Long.The purpose of this interim report is to: Other Issues-Beyond The Scope Of This Study.
