A high altitude balloon comprised of three parts: a body and two end caps. The high altitude balloon includes a substantially cylindrical body formed with a single rectangular sheet of thin membrane material. The end caps can be made of the same thin membrane material, or they may be made from a different material. The end caps may have a substantially hemispherical (dished) shape or flat (disc) shape, though the end caps may have different shapes. Load restraints may be used on the inside or outside of the balloon body to form a plurality of lobes on the balloon body.
