Abstract Trans-oceanic flights between Japan and China have been successfully carried out for three years (from 1986 to 1988), and nine balloons were launched from Kyusyu Island toward China. Although two flights were terminated due to balloon problems during ascending phase, seven balloons reached China successfully and those payload were recovered in the inland of China. During the long duration flights lasting for more than ten hours, the scientific objectives were accomplished by the scientists of both countries in collaboration and many useful data could be obtained.
