The static mass and byoyancy measurements of IID7 balloon 201, recently measured under simulated flight conditions reveal a net trim situation which vitiates the use of a payload service gondola for mooring. The mast/monorail mooring system is discussed as a mooring system for the IID7 balloon. Designs for monorail systems at Cudjoe Key are described and cost/schedule estimates are given. (Author)
