Systems and methods herein provide for balloon launching. In one embodiment, a Portable Balloon Launch System (PBLS) includes a tank operable to retain water, and a reactor fluidly coupled to the tank and comprising a reductant material that reacts with the water to produce a lift gas. The PBLS also includes a first valve operable to release the water into the reactor, and an exhaust operable to vent the lift gas into a balloon to inflate the balloon. The lift gas is lighter than air so as to lift the balloon into the atmosphere.
