Balloon Recovery Systems

Description
-
The increased reliability of the scrim reinforced plastic balloon is offset by its higher costs. To reduce the per flight cost, two systems are being developed to recover balloons after mission completion, so that they can be reused. One system is used where tandem balloons are employed, the other system is designed to be used with the standard single balloon.
