AbstractLarge “Heavy Duty” Balloons are regularly operated in Europe since 1977, where CNES along with Italian and Spanish organizations, ASI and INTA, created the Transmediterranean flight facility, so-called “ODISSEA”. More than fifty flights have since then been achieved, using large polyethylene balloons of which the volume may exceed 1 million cubic meters with payload of more than two tons. This activity has been recently extended to the Southern Hemisphere, where a first campaign took place in 1988 from a site located in Australia. A rather intense activity will be developped during 1992, as a new campaign, organised by CNES, will take place on the Australian site, followed few months later by a series of Transmediterraean flights.
