This handbook, prepared at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, summarizes the current state of scientific ballooning technology. Principles are emphasized throughout, but procedures for planning and operations are also included. Extensive tables and graphs provide essential data and computational aids, and equations (including empirical equations from which data may be calculated) are provided to enhance application of computer technology to ballooning problems. The handbook will be of interest to scientists who plan to fly experiments on balloons, to engineers who must design balloons or equipment for ballooning use, and to flight operations personnel. The section on the evolution of ballooning contains much of general interest, and sports balloonists will find the section on hot air ballooning useful. Other sections cover the theory of balloon flight, energy balance and a flight model, lift gases, balloon design considerations, instrumentation, superpressure balloons, etc.
