thethered balloon

6 October 2021

We had already seen the big balloon in the hangar when we dressed in orange survival suits for a boat trip in the fjord.


Now, I discovered the balloon in action measuring the first layers of the atmosphere.

The campaign was ending end the balloon was lowered.
The most unique part is not the balloon but the cable which is extremely light weight and strong.


The balloon returns to the hangar while being attached to the small electric car Goupille of AWIPEV.
