Aerodynamic Tethered Sails for Scientific Balloon Trajectory Control: Small-Scale Experimental Demonstration
JOURNAL OF AIRCRAFT, 58(5), 1010–1021.
author keywords: Rudder; Control Systems; Aerodynamic Coefficients; High Altitude Balloon; Ground Station; Damping Coefficient; Earth; Aerodynamic Angle; Newton's Second Law; Young's Modulus
TL;DR:
High-altitude scientific balloons are often prohibited from flying due to the risk associated with flying over populated areas, but one solution to this problem is the use of a trajectory control system.
