Planetary exploration is not limited to orbiting spacecraft and surface landing devices. The use of free floating balloons has and will provide excellent science platforms for planetary investigations. NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory is designing a return mission to the Venusian atmosphere using a reversible fluid altitude control balloon called Balloon Experiment at Venus (BEV). BEV is a proposed NASA flight experiment to demonstrate key technologies for the operation of advanced balloons in the atmosphere of Venus. This paper includes both the mission profile and system description of the proposed BEV concept.
