Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments are provided for a super pressure balloon puffing propulsion system that provides for directional control of the balloon. In one example, a system includes a lift gas envelope and a ballonet coupled within the lift gas envelope. The system also includes a pump used to pump a ballast gas into the ballonet. The system further includes a plurality of exhaust ports disposed around a circumference of the lift gas envelop, where the exhaust ports discharge the ballast gas from the ballonet to provide a selective horizontal propulsive force.
