University of Arizona https://asteroids.arizona.edu/ http://spacetrex.arizona.edu/ Solar High Altitude Balloons (SHABs) use a lightweight envelope material with excellent heat transfer properties to absorb solar radiation and convert that energy to heat. The heated envelope then heats the internal ambient air through convection, providing positive lift. These balloons fly for 10+ hours until the sun sets and have achieved altitudes over 70,000 ft. 6 SHAB missions of various materials and sizes were launched in the Fall of 2020. Two balloons also included a novel vent design for altitude control of the balloons.
