Abstract:
Mission requirements such as low-shock launch, very large heavy-weight payloads, and very large and fragile balloon systems have required development of new launch methods . The tandem balloon system appears to offer the greatest overall advantages with regard to system capability and reliability and balloon recovery. The advantages of this system and areas that require further development are presented.
