Greater mechanical simplicity, inexpensive and easy to fabricate, capable of traveling over a large altitude range for long durations to maintain desired station area positioning.

About

A novel, efficient, and durable buoyancy control system that increases the functionality of high-altitude balloons. This lightweight, low cost system can be utilized for precise and efficient altitude control over extended periods of days to years. The flexibility and endurance of this system allows for the maintenance of desired station area and simple repositioning. These advantages provided by the Aneuric System increase the number of potential industry applications for atmospheric balloons.

Applications

Air mass tracking beacons for environmental monitoring, national security, or military applications Surveillance platforms for border patrol, national security, or military applications Inexpensive "satellite constellations" for the communications industry Reusable long-duration sondes for weather forecasting models Altitude control system for larger airships
