Abstract Since 1984 the National Institute of Polar Research, the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science and collaborative scientists have searched for feasibility of the long-term circumpolar balloon experiment called Polar Patrol Balloon (PPB) project. This project aims at establishing a station network in the stratosphere over the Antarctic region for geophysical and astrophysical observations. Three test flights in 1987 and 1990 at Syowa Station have convinced us that PPB would come back to the launching site with a good possibility. During 1991–1993 the PPB experiments will consequently be made for scientific researches at Syowa Station. This paper reports unique advantages of this PPB experiment and briefly reviews the past PPB experiments.
