Marine Search-and-Recovery Operation of Scientific Balloons in Japan

Marine Search-and-Recovery Operation of Scientific Balloons in Japan Stratospheric balloons have been used worldwide for more than half a century for various scientific missions. However such balloon operations are facing safety issues due to the reduction in appropriate sites for landing. Instead of landing on the ground, landing and recovering on the sea can be a radical solution to this problem. Marine search-and-recovery operations for balloons are not conducted commonly; however, such the operation has been uniquely developed in Japan for more than 40 years. This study describes the methodology for such search-and-recovery of balloons and gondolas through examination of multiple case studies. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation World Scientific Publishing Company
